Verdict

Bottom weight YEATS MARDY can get off the mark at the 10th attempt over hurdles for connections in first-time blinkers here. The five-year-old can go a couple of places closer when fourth of 12 beaten 2L over C&D in September. Naturally Blonde ran a couple of solid races over hurdles last month off similar marks and can battle for the minor honours here with Kings Song and the gallant veteran The King Of Brega.
  1. Yeats Mardy
  2. Naturally Blond
  3. King's Song
