Verdict
YANWORTH did well to beat favourite Urubu D'Irlande, who has already won over hurdles this season, on his racecourse debut at Wincanton in May. A P McCoy takes over the reins here and this potentially nice prospect should be good enough to defy a penalty on his return to action. Newcomer Rollingontheriver is a half-brother to two winning jumpers and might be the one for forecast-backers ahead of ex-pointers Gunshycowboy and Rabunda.
