Verdict
Without a win in 15 starts on the Flat, Yukon returned a 50/1 winner over track and trip on his hurdling debut and first outing for a new yard. He should figure again despite a penalty but LEGENDARY DAY is rated much higher on the level having won twice and has also switched yards. He may prove good enough on his hurdling bow. Whodini faded away over a longer trip at Hereford on his first start hurdling while the Irish filly Happywifehappylife is helped by a conditional’s allowance.
