Verdict

HUNTERS YARN's connections are responsible for the winners of the last two runnings of this maiden chase, namely Blue Lord and El Fabiolo, and the 6-y-o is taken to follow in the footsteps of his classy stable companions. He chased home fellow Mullins inmate Hercule Du Seuil in a Grade 2 novice hurdle here when last seen in April, and the winner has since scored five times over fences. Sa Fureur is the clear main danger, while Byker is a tempting each-way option.
