Racing: Yeats, winner of the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot for the past two seasons, will start his 2008 campaign in the Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan on Sunday.
Aidan O'Brien's seven-year-old won his first four races last term, including this 13-furlong Listed event, before getting turned over at odds-on in the Prix du Cadran on Arc weekend.
He will be asked to give weight away to horses including Kevin Prendergast's Red Moloney and the Alan Swinbank-trained Alfie Flits.
The former regained the winning thread at this level earlier in the month, while the latter has not been seen since taking third behind Peppertree Lane at the Curragh last June.
Nick's Nikita, Dancesowell, Scotch Bonnet and Eoin Griffin's Lounaos, fifth behind Al Eile over timber at Aintree last time, complete the seven-strong line-up.
