Kemboy might be capable of completing back-to-back wins in today’s Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup in Leopardstown.
The Willie Mullins-trained ten-year-old is a four-time Grade 1 winner. And two of those top-level successes have come at Leopardstown, a defeat of Monalee in the 2018 ‘Savills’ and his gutsy victory over Thestoryteller, Delta Work and Minella Indo in this event twelve months ago.
Kemboy has never produced his best at Cheltenham. But his impressive Betway Bowl win at Aintree in 2019 and his memorable victory over stable-companion and Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo in the Punchestown Gold Cup a few weeks later ,are rock-solid pieces of form.
