Devil On Course For Leopardstown

Exciting novice chaser Kill Devil Hill is set for a crack at the Dr.P.J Moriarty Chase at Leopardstown on February 12.

Paul Nolan´s six-year-old holds entries in the Irish Independent Arkle Challenge Trophy and the Royal & SunAlliance Chase at the Cheltenham Festival but finished a disappointing third behind Missed That at Leopardstown last time out.

Nolan revealed his charge, already a two-time winner this season, has now recovered from his exertions on Boxing Day and hopes to atone for that below-par display next month.

'Kill Devil Hill is improving well and we are hoping to get a run into him in the Moriarty in two weeks´ time,' the County Wexford handler told At The Races.

'He is in good shape and has rested up well after his set-back at Leopardstown.

'He´s a very good horse and we haven´t seen the best of him yet.'
