William Of York
Has won three times over hurdles and three times over fences, but was disappointing back over hurdles with a visor (retained) instead of cheekpieces at Hexham last time (2m7f, good; 40-1).

From the connections
“We always fancied William Of York as a chaser and just hope he gets three miles in time. He's not Third Time Lucki or Captain Chaos, but he's going the right way - you haven't seen the best of him yet and will improve. He'll come back to us for a good summer holiday too - Mike Newbould, owner.”
