Three-time Grade One winner Yorkhill stars on a good card at Leopardstown on Sunday and will be expected to land the Grade Three 'Money Back On Fallers' At Coral.ie Novice Chase.
Willie Mullins' charge proved high-class over hurdles, winning at the top table at both Cheltenham and Aintree, and having readily landed the odds on his chasing bow at Fairyhouse last month, he should take this en route to the big spring festivals.
Anibale Fly, who flopped at Kempton over the festive period but had previously chased home Coney Island in the Drinmore, will be no pushover with solid Grade One form in the book.
Gordon Elliott is proving hard to pass atop the trainers' championship having landed some valuable handicaps, and Space Cadet gives him strong claims in the Coral.ie Leopardstown Handicap Chase after performing well when second at Punchestown over three miles-plus last month.
Elliott has the top three in the handicap so Johnny Burke's mount races off a low weight.
Melbourne Cup silver medallist Heartbreak City is likely to be popular in the Coral.ie Hurdle as he is well handicapped on his Flat form, races off a light weight and and has won his last two over timber.
The opening 'Download The Coral App' Mares Maiden Hurdle at 1.10 appears at the mercy of Bargy Lady, who was second in a similar heat at Fairyhouse earlier in the month, and her pilot Ruby Walsh may well be on the winner of the following Coral.ie 'Best Price Guaranteed On Irish Racing' Maiden Hurdle because Capital Force was not disgraced behind a useful sort here over Christmas.
Sutton Manor looks open to further improvement in the 'Bet & Watch' Irish Racing Live At Coral.ie Handicap Hurdle, while the concluding 'Join The Coral Bet & Get Club At Coral.ie' (Pro/Am) Flat Race might lie between Bakmaj and Derrinross.
