Arvika Ligeonniere can make winning return

Arvika Ligeonniere can land a cracking renewal of the Grade 2 Clonmel Oil Chase at Clonmel this afternoon.

This will be his first outing in 203 days, but Willie Mullins has his horses in fine shape and it is also an obvious plus that the selection goes particularly well fresh.

For instance, he was returning from a long break when taking a beginners chase at Punchestown in May of last year and then wasn’t seen again until reappearing in the Grade 1 Drinmore Chase at Fairyhouse in early December.
