Grand Roi, featured in Bromley's Best Buys in One Jump Ahead, made an impressive start to his career in the UK when winning the junior bumper at Wincanton on Thursday. The gelded son of Spanish Moon had run in two APQS bumpers in France when trained by Laurent Viel. Bought by Anthony Bromley on behalf of the Million in Mind syndicate, the three year old made all the running under Nico De Boinville powering away inside the final couple of furlongs. Nicky Henderson's new recruit crossed the line fifteen lengths in front and looks an exciting prospect. While it is possible the three year old will go juvenile hurdling, it wouldn't surprise me if he is aimed at the Listed four year old bumper at Cheltenham on New Year's Day.
