Verdict

YANWORTH is a winning machine (10 from 14 career), and has only tasted defeat on one other occasion away from the Cheltenham Festival. He proved himself the classiest of hurdlers last term making the transition from high class novice events the previous season. He tasted Grade 1 success at Kempton (Christmas Hurdle) and Aintree (Liverpool Stayers Hurdle), as well as Grade 2 success at Wincanton (Kingwell Hurdle) and Ascot (Ascot Hurdle). Put simply, he is a class above these rivals, and granted a clear round will make a winning start over fences.
