YAXENI really is a dependable sort at this level and might be up to notching a fourth listed success of the campaign. Inuit failed to land a blow in the 2m Irish Cesarewitch but had progressed nicely around this trip prior to that and heads the dangers along with recent Loughbrown third Star Image and Dermot Weld's Duke de Sessa.
