Bay following the Drever route

Published: 10 March 2010

Graham Wylie admits his Ladbrokes World Hurdle hope Tidal Bay has a long way to go before he can emulate former stablemate Inglis Drever.

The latter, who had to be put down in October after suffering from colic, won the staying hurdle title three times for Wylie and while Tidal Bay appreciated the return to the smaller obstacles when landing the Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham in January, Wylie is just hoping for the best against hotpot Big Buck's.

"It would be nice if he could emulate Inglis Drever, but I don't think he's as good or as tough and battle-hardened as him," the millionaire owner told At The Races.
