The enigmatic Yorkhill is one of 3 runners for Willie Mullins from the Guinness Kerry National at Listowel.

The winner trainer asserted back-to-back renewals of the prestigious three-mile disability at 2005 and 2006 with Bothar Na and Euro Leader, but has not managed to add to his tally since. A dual winner at the Cheltenham Festival, Yorkhill appeared a superstar in the building after winning the 2017 JLT Novices’ Chase, however, has emerged a shadow of his former self over the past few years. The nine-year-old asserted his first victory since that instant Festival victory bids to followup on Wednesday in the palms of Paul Townend beneath top-weight at Listowel also when landing a conditions chase at the Galway Festival a month. Mullins’ helper David Casey said:”You would like to not have top-weight, obviously, but he looks in good shape. “Going back left-handed is going to suit him better than rushing right-handed in Galway, even though he won. “We’ve been happy with him because, so fingers crossed he will run well.” The Closutton handler also saddles Some Neck (David Mullins) – three crosses supporting Yorkhill when runner-up at Galway – and also the six-time winner Pravalaguna (Danny Mullins). Casey added:”Many Neck conducted nicely behind Yorkhill in Galway, and going an extra few furlongs should suit him. We’re also placing a set of blinkers on him for the very first time to attempt to eke out a little more progress. “Pravalaguna ran well in the Galway Plate (completed seventh) before winning over obstructions in Cork. The trip should fit her nicely, and she needs to have a good prospect of getting in the money, when she runs up to her Galway Plate kind. “They all have chances, but it is clearly a race.” The champion coach’s great rival Gordon Elliott also offers a powerful hand, using A Toi Phil (Jack Kennedy), Barra (Hugh Morgan), Ravenhill (Denis O’Regan) and Swingbridge (Andrew Ring) all featuring in an 18-strong area. Elliott, who claimed consecutive renewals of the Kerry National together using Wrath Of Titans and Potters Point in 2016 and 2017, said:”It has been a terrific race for us. There is prize-money that is fantastic, and it is an unbelievable race – it’s one of the handicap chases that you want to win each year. “It’s going to be a difficult race. If the floor is okay must have a terrific opportunity. “Barra appeared like she was going to win the Midlands National and dropped at the past. “With A Toi Phil, the trip would most likely be a concern.” The Sector is headed JP McManus-owned Movewiththetimes and from the Enda Bolger-trained. Trained in Britain from Paul Nicholls, the eight-year-old dropped when joint-favourite for the Galway Plate in his first start for Bolger, but bounced back to win against a beginners chase in Killarney after his first victory in almost three years. Bolger stated:”He has a great racing weight and he’s going to the race in good shape. “It was important for him and important for us that he got his head facing Killarney – it will increase his confidence. “This really is a 200,000 euro raceand everybody will soon be champing at the bit – however as long as they do not get too much rain, hopefully he will run well and possibly get in the frame.” Joseph O’Brien The Answers, the Tom Mullins-trained Oscar Knight and Drumcliff also carries the McManus silks from Aidan Howard’s yard. This race’s final winner was that the Ferdy Murphy’s Macs Supreme in 2000, and now there are just two raiders at David Pipe’s Dell’ Arca along with Neil Mulholland’s Shantou Village – fifth and fourth in the renewal of the past year. Additional hopefuls contain Dark Scorpion, James Motherway’s Na Trachtalai Abu along with the Eric duo of Internal Transfer and Henry de Bromhead’s pair of Valseur Lido and Poker Party – although the latter is not yet guaranteed a series, as book.
