FAUGHEEN TO CALL IN AT GOWRAN PARK? Willie Mullins has hinted that Champion Hurdle favourite Faugheen could take in the Red Mills Trial Hurdle at Gowran Park on Saturday week before the Festival.
The Champion Hurdle favourite Faugheen could be stopping at Gowran Park en route to the Festival.
The Willie Mullins trained runner, who is now unbeaten in seven races over timber, could well contest the Red Mills Trial Hurdle a week on Saturday.
He hasn’t been seen out since winning the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton on Boxing Day and is now trading around 2.4 on BETDAQ for the Champion Hurdle.
Mullins, speaking on At The Races, said: “We’re looking at the Red Mills. I think there’s one other contest left in England. We’ll just keep all our options open. The horse is in good form. We’ll probably have a chat with Ruby in the next day or so to see if he needs more experience, but at the moment I’m very happy with him.”
Walsh has yet to decide whether to partner Faugheen or the incredible Hurricane Fly who bids to become the first horse in history to regain the crown twice.
Of the Fly, Mullins said: “If he was a year younger, or maybe two or three years, he’d be favourite, wouldn’t he? He’s done everything he’s been asked, he’s beaten the reigning Champion Hurdler (Jezki). His age is the only thing against him, and possibly people feel Cheltenham is not his track, yet he’s won twice there.”
