Olly Murphy’s runner in the race at Cheltenham on Friday is Act Of Authority, who will be the ride of Sean Bowen. The five-year-old made a winning return to action at Bangor-On-Dee in a maiden hurdle, beating Iron D’Ex by 14 lengths on soft ground.
Act Of Authority is yet to finish outside of the first two in three career starts under rules, and he could be a leading chance on this step up in grade.
