Tolworth track switch unlikely to suit Liquidator

Willie Mullins is keen to find out where Upazo ranks in his talented crop of novice hurdlers by letting him line up in the williamhill.com Levy Board Tolworth Hurdle at Kempton this afternoon.

Mullins has a formidable hand in the division this season, with the likes of Briar Hill, Faugheen and Vautour expected to bid for major honours at the Festivals this spring.

French bumper winner Upazo surprisingly failed to find the winner’s spot in four attempts over hurdles in Ireland last season, but as a result, maintained his novice status for the new campaign.
