Felix Yonger to make class count on return to hurdling
The Willie Mullins-trained nine-year-old, runner-up to Simonsig in the Neptune Investment Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in 2012, is a three-time winner over fences, but failed to hit the target when competing at the top level in novice company last season.
Beaten by The Paparrazi Kid at Limerick and runner-up to Trifolium in the Irish Arkle at Leopardstown, he filled fourth spot behind Taquin Du Seuil in the JLT Novices’ Chase at Cheltenham and behind God’s Own in the Grade One Ryanair Novice Chase at the Punchestown Festival.
