Yorkhill Could Go Back over Hurdles Willie Mullins has raised the possibility of Yorkhill switching back to hurdles rather than continuing on the chasing route. The seven-year-old was a three-times Grade One winner over hurdles last term and has won each of his two chasing starts this term, most recently landing a Grade Three heat at Leopardstown last Sunday. However, Mullins is not certain his future lies over fences. He said at the launch of the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle in Dublin yesterday: "When I asked Ruby (Walsh), he said he was happy (with Yorkhill). Looking at him yesterday, should he go back (in trip)? To me he's a Champion Hurdler in time. "I didn't make up my mind until the last minute (to go chasing). If his jumping doesn't improve up in grade, I could go back hurdling in a flash. I'm surprised I even went novice chasing with him this year." "When he won the Neptune last March my first reaction was that he was a potential Champion Hurdle horse."
