Yorkhill is certainly enigmatic but can also be forgiven his mishap in the Plate here on Wednesday. He has to be considered off these favourable terms and is one of two for Willie Mullins who won this in 2016 and 2017. His stablemate SOME NECK missed the Plate and is still open to improvement over fences and it may be that a drop back to his last winning trip provides the spark. Theinval is likely to return better for a break and as another classy performer in this field .may be the main danger.
