FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - “He’ll be back here anytime there’s a race for him,” said trainer Shane Nolan after YOUNGNEDOFTHEHILL won here in May under Rachael Blackmore. True to his word and Nolan has waited 57 days to give his King’s Theatre veteran another outing, and the Ballinrobe specialist will surely be thereabouts with champion jockey Paul Townend now booked. Of course the surface he’ll be racing on here will be very different. Youngnedofthehill has encountered many variations in conditions since first appearing in public in a Durrow, County Offaly point-to-point in March 2015, and the going here isn’t expected to be any issue. Top-weight Ciankyle didn’t run one of his better races last time, but he’s never to be taken lightly when it comes to competing at this venue. He’s a definite contender. John Ryan has dual representation with Summer Hill and Fort William (cheek-pieces tried), and this pair are just two of the many others that need to be borne in mind.
