C&D winner last August; some good runs over hurdles and on the Flat since; chance
Stable Tour
"He won at Hexham last month and seems to be a better horse over hurdles than on the Flat. He's gone up 5lb, which is all right, and has come out of the race well. There's a race at the first Kelso meeting that could be ideal. 10-09-25"

Easy win here (1m4f) on his penultimate run and has claims if he can recapture that form
Quotes
"It was a little bit unexpected. Yakhabar looked comfortable all the way round, he's usually a bit slow out the stalls but he jumped out sharp ? he must like Amy [Collier, jockey]. The first-time tongue-tie might have helped him and the way the race worked out suited him. He shows enough that he should be winning races like this. I wasn't going there thinking we're going to have a winner. I thought he'd have won on the all-weather in the winter but he didn't. He's not been running badly, there are a lot of placed efforts, he just hasn't been able to get his head in front, but he put that right - Liam Bailey, trainer."
2025-06-19 - Ripon"Yakhabar is generally held up but everything else in the race was held up also, so I thought we'd take a chance and go forward and I think that's what's won him the race - Liam Bailey, trainer."
