Though 0-14 over hurdles, Jack Yeats could be an interesting newcomer to fences. Moonlight Glory ended last season with seconds at Hexham and Sedgefield but HERITIER looked in need of the run at Bangor last month and is fancied to recoup losses with Travail D'Orfevre 5lb higher than when a winner over hurdles here in the spring. Spark Of Madness may be best of the rest.
