Ilaya finished closer over timber at Wetherby back in March but KINGRULLAH has the more recent form. He was placed at Kelso a fortnight ago behind the odds-on Lucky Flight and any further progress can see him off the mark. Bumper winner Yes No Maybe So makes his hurdling bow on his first start since January while Breathable is the best of those to have raced on the Flat having won three times and is a half-brother to winning hurdler Perspicace. Blaster Yeats has joined Sue Smith’s yard since winning a point-to-point and hails from the family of the smart hurdler Wicklow Lad.
