Formscan By Michael Graham - SEQUESTERED couldn't land a blow in a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Cheltenham, but has prospects on his three previous performances. He won his maiden hurdle in Sligo before filling the runner-up berth behind a more than useful horse in Listowel. His victory in a Galway novice hurdle was well franked when the runner-up came out and won a good handicap in Clonmel. Waterford Whispers competes off a mark of 123 after victories in a Galway maiden hurdle and a rated novice hurdle in Fairyhouse. Trip and ground will be ideal for him. Yeats Star is another hat-trick seeker and tries this trip for the first time. He notably stretched clear by 13 lengths over an extended 2m1f at Downpatrick in October. Mount Sinai and Petit King are others to consider.
