A horse who divides opinion so this won't be for everyone...
Yorkhill - 6/1 Any Race - William Hill
A 6/1 ante post price this far out won't be for all but for the horse in question, I think it's too big. A quick look at his possible targets and current best prices:
Champion Hurdle - 10/1
Champion Chase - 10/1
Ryanair - 8/1
Gold Cup - 8/1
I expect the decision of where Yorkhill goes to be drawn out for much of the season - It took until mid December last year for Mullins to commit Yorkhill over fences so expect similar as I do believe it's a very tough decision to make. In my opinion i think both Ruby Walsh and Graham Wylie still want to stay chasing and target the Gold Cup and it'll be whether Mullins can get them to agree to switch.
The Morgiana would be the logical starting race for him if he does go over hurdles - around 20th November so a decision on reverting back to hurdles you would imagine will be made by then if there are no setbacks but even if they decide to stay chasing - I expect we'll still be wondering whether it's Gold Cup/Ryanair throughout the season.
SkyBet also have him in the Any Race market at 9/4 which is the kind of price I had expected.
6/1 takes out the uncertainty and really is just too big - whichever race he lined up in, at the very worst he'd be no bigger than 6/1 on the day and likely a fair bit shorter imo...
2pts Win
(I was tempted with going each way for this which would give you your money back if placing, but don't fancy tying up the place part of the bet just to get my stake back and no profit)
