Timeform
Won completed start in Irish points and shaped with promise in a Catterick bumper/maiden hurdle last season. Weakened tamely at Bangor in May and since had a breathing op.

Best bumper effort when third of 9 at Carlisle in February 2023 but off the track since.
|
Timeform
Runner-up in a point bumper and shaped with some encouragement when fifth in a bumper at Cheltenham in October. Showed enough in a brace of hurdles outings to make him of some interest on stable debut (has left Georgina Nicholls).

Fairly useful on Flat and translated that ability to hurdles at the first time of asking when scoring by 19 lengths at Down Royal at the end of August. Runner-up at Warwick 12 days ago and, fitted with a hood, she's very much the one to beat.

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Aliomaana (winner around 2m). Dam sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Celestial Force. Fair handicapper on Flat, stays 2¼m, ran up to best from 6 lb out of weights last time. Bred to take to this sphere.

Timeform

Forecasts

Yokkell (1/1), Another High Five (13/2), Iorangi De L'isle (7/1), The Northernlights (8/1), Rogue Lion (10/1), Lyle View (12/1), Zephlyn (14/1), Samwise (16/1), Reliance Kid (33/1), Gatsby Blue (50/1)

Verdict

Ex-Flat performer YOKKELL cemented a solid start to her hurdles career when runner-up at Warwick 12 days ago and she's very much the one to beat. Point-recruits Another High Five and Lyle View may emerge as the chief threats.
