Verdict

He isn't the most straightforward but YORKHILL is laden with talent and it is clear that both trainer and jockey feel he is destined for the very top in this game. He was given a super ride by Walsh at Cheltenham and, while he didn't win by far, was the best horse in the race by a distance. This race is less demanding and it will be something of a disappointment if his unblemished chasing record is dented. Road To Respect was an excellent handicap scorer in the Cotswolds and merits a tilt at Grade One honours now while Ball D'arc is also likely to run a fine race stepping back up to this trip. Anibale Fly has to bounce back from a poor effort at Navan but is not discarded.
