It is, in the immortal words of baseball legend Yogi Berra, "déjà vu all over again." Twelve months ago, Gordon Elliott led Willie Mullins by around €400,000 going into the Festival which is the finale of the Irish National Hunt season. This year, at the time of writing, the gap is a hair over €500,000.
