FormscanBy Michael Graham - HUNTERS YARN is the class angle in his first handicap. He didn't figure on his seasonal reappearance in the Grade 2 Hilly Way at Cork last month, but should relish this company. It was just three runs back that he beat one of his main rivals, Path D'oroux, by 10 lengths in a beginners' chase at this track. Path D'oroux is one of three Gavin Cromwell representatives with his Midnight It Is looking upwardly mobile after successes at this racecourse and in Navan. American Mike dropped back to this trip at this venue in November and finished third, so is capable of a good run. Fils d'Oudairies bids to exploit a much lower chase mark in relation to his hurdle rating and isn't out of it.
