Newmill can get back on winning trail in Champion

NEWMILL, so impressive in the race a year ago, is fancied to get back on the winning trail in the Kerrygold Champion Chase at the first stage of the Punchestown Festival this afternoon.

John Murphy's nine-year-old has had a mixed campaign, but has plenty going for him now and looks the one they all have to beat.

He's had just four races, enjoying a single success when surprising Macs Joy over flights at Gowran Park.
