PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
It was hard not to be impressed by the winning start that HUNTERS YARN made to racing in the open lightweight division at Quakerstown last month, and he would look to set a high standard for this. There are no shortage of capable rivals who could keep him honest, including Carnfunnock, after he defeated a stablemate of the selection in Curraghmore. Bartlemy Boy was a popular winner at Ballindenisk, whilst The Great Unknown, Fountain House, Bugs Moran and Ryehill are others that are respected.
