Yanworth is the chosen representative of JP McManus in the Ryanair Stayers Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree on Saturday.

"He’s a lovely horse and jumped and did everything well. It’s nice to ride one for the boss."”

“His record speaks for itself and you don’t ride the big winners he’s had without being top drawer in every department."

Barry Geraghty is expected to be confirmed as the retained rider for high profile owner JP McManus following the retirement of AP McCoy.
