Formscan  - A commanding winner of the Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree in April, there are no stamina doubts concerning STRONG LEADER and Olly Murphy's gelding is fancied to carry a 6lb penalty to make a successful reappearance. Langer Dan proved he was able to compete at the highest level when finishing a narrow third in the Aintree Hurdle. The dual Coral Cup hero is 2lb clear on official ratings so, in receipt of weight, he is a real threat. Monmiral can chase the pair home.
