Alan King bullish about Yanworth's chances at Cheltenham

Alan King is bullish about Yanworth as JP McManus’s exciting prospect bids for a five-timer in the Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham today.

King has made no secret of how highly he rates Yanworth, who has come in leaps and bounds switching to hurdling after finishing fourth in last year’s Champion Bumper.

After landing his first two novice hurdles at prohibitive odds at Exeter and Warwick, Yanworth was again a very short price as he trotted up in the Grade Two Kennel Gate Novices’ Hurdle at Ascot.
