Juviniles 2015/2016

I have noticed this season in particulare there are less and less 3yo hurdlers in UK and Ireland. I see last seasons Fred Winter yielded 70 entries. I cnt see that number this year.
Has anyone got the data of juviniles run to date in contrast to the last couple of seasons??

Is this due to the monoply of nichols/hendo and king that the small folk dont bother? or due to the increase cost of ex flat horses due to munir and jp?

is this a division soon to be abolished?
