FormscanBy Alan Magee - NOBLE YEATS finished strongly when just denied in a Ballindenisk point-to-point and reappeared after a gap of just over 12 months when again putting in his best work at the finish in a bumper at the Limerick Christmas meeting. The extra three furlongs here should play to his strengths. Gringo D’aubrelle won a four-year-old maiden in good style at Loughanmore and the following month was snapped up for 270,000 pounds at the Cheltenham November Sale. It will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market. Mahons Glory ran a cracker on debut in a bumper here last spring and caught the eye of the stewards when again runner-up to the impressive Gentlemansgame in a Cork maiden hurdle earlier this month. He raced quite keenly on that occasion and may not be suited by this stamina test.
