Talking Horses: Mt Leinster a rock-solid each-way option in Ebor at York

Placed in Grade One company over hurdles at the 2020 Dublin Racing Festival, Mt Leinster ended last season with Flat successes at Listowel and the Curragh

The Sky Bet Ebor at York has been a good race for the Irish in recent years and Mt Leinster rates as a rock-solid each-way option to give Willie Mullins a second win in Europe’s top staying handicap.

First successful with Sesenta in 2019, Mullins went close again in 2015 when Wicklow Brave was touched off by Litigant and Ireland’s champion jump trainer looks to have another big contender in Mt Leinster.
