Energumene on course for Cork comeback
Top two-miler set to return in Hilly Way Chase.
Champion Chase winner Energumene is primed for a return to Cork on Sunday as he bids to defend his Bar One Racing Hilly Way Chase title. The brilliant two-miler, owned by Brighton & Hove Albion chairman Tony Bloom, won the EURO 100,000 race on his first start last season and Patrick Mullins, assistant to his father Willie, is hoping it will be a straightforward return. Mullins said: “It was obviously a perfect starting point for him last year and hopefully it can be the same again this year.Energumene streaks clear to win a dramatic Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase 🏆ITs a first win in this race for @WillieMullinsNH 😲#Cheltenham2022 | #ITVRacing pic.twitter.com/pWQ4izMJVM
