Willie Mullins Stable Tour - Younger Horses

Form profile

A 132-rated hurdler, she has won two of her four starts over hurdles, including a Grade 3 mares’ novice hurdle at Fairyhouse in January.

Trainer says

She's had a good prep and I would like nice ground for her. It can be difficult for novice mares, as we have sent some really hot ones over the years and ended up winning it with 33/1 shots. They can go like the clappers in that race and some mares don't get home.

Form profile

A 143-rated hurdler, he has won both his starts over hurdles since joining Mullins.

Trainer says

He's very good, and I just felt it was only three weeks since his last run, he's only four, and it was going to be a hard race if he ran in the Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown. He'll go to Cheltenham a bit fresher, and he's a fair sort.

Form profile

A 146-rated hurdler, he has won three of his four starts over hurdles, including the Lawlor’s Of Naas Novice Hurdle on his latest start.

Trainer says

He keeps improving this season and the Ballymore might look the right race for him.

Form profile

The impressive winner of a point-to-point at Stowlin in May prior to changing hands, he finished second to Better Days Ahead in a bumper at Fairyhouse on his racecourse debut.

Trainer says

Chapeau De Soleil hasn’t won a bumper yet, but he’ll be in the mix for the Champion Bumper if he looks like getting in.

Form profile

A 140-rated hurdler, he won both his starts in bumpers and a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown prior to finishing third to Il Etait Temps in a Grade 1 novice hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Trainer says

He’s a possibility for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.

Form profile

A useful performer on the Flat in France, he made it second-time lucky over hurdles when winning a maiden at Punchestown in January.

Trainer says

You should keep an eye on him. He won very nicely at Punchestown and he's a possible for the Supreme. He looks the real deal.

Form profile

Unbeaten in four starts in bumpers, including the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival and the equivalent contest at the Punchestown Festival, and won his first two starts over hurdles, including a Grade 1 novice, but came back lame after disappointing on his latest run at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Trainer says

He's good. He had a few easy days after Leopardstown. He'll be back riding out later this week. I'm happy with him. I was disappointed with Leopardstown, but I'm happy with how he came out of the race.

Form profile

Made an impressive winning debut in a bumper at Sligo in October and followed up in great style in the Grade 2 mares’ bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Trainer says

She definitely put herself in the Champion Bumper picture with the way she won at Leopardstown. I thought she was only three-parts ready, but it looked as though she had jumped in at where the second-last hurdle is positioned. And she blew up coming out of the back straight. Next thing, she filled her lungs and away she went. That was a huge performance, I thought.

Form profile

A 153-rated hurdler, he was beaten a short-head on his first start for Willie Mullins in the Boodles Juvenile Handicap at the Cheltenham Festival but has won all three of his starts this season, including the valuable Festina Lente Charity Liffey Handicap Hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Trainer says

He was very impressive at Leopardstown. I was delighted to see him win a handicap like that. It was a great trial for maybe going for the Ballymore. He could go for the Supreme, but if I had to make a decision now, the Ballymore is where I’d be going. But we’ll see what happens in the meantime.

Form profile

A 134-rated hurdler, she has won three of her four starts over hurdles, including the Spring Juvenile Hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Trainer says

She's her own worst enemy as she pulls so hard, but she’s going to improve as well. The juvenile division is very hot this year, and she's in there among them.

Form profile

The winner of three bumpers, including two at the backend of last season, he made it second-time lucky when winning a maiden hurdle at Naas in January.

Trainer says

He didn't jump as fluently as I hoped at Navan, but he has a nice turn of foot and is possibly bound for the Supreme. I liked what I saw at Navan, and he could be a very smart novice chaser next year. He will definitely stay at two miles this season.

Form profile

A 148-rated hurdler, he shaped with promise without winning as a juvenile hurdler last season and has won two of his three starts this term, including the Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Trainer says

If you go back to his first run last season, it was very, very good. His jumping just let him down afterwards. His jumping has let him down this season too, but we always thought he was a Grade 1 horse - he just hadn't got things together. He got things together at Leopardstown last time. Danny got him out, got him on an even keel, and things just worked for him. He's a live one in the Supreme.

Form profile

Has won both his starts over hurdles for Mullins, including the Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle at Punchestown in January.

Trainer says

He has the option of the Ballymore or the Supreme. He's shown us he has no problem staying, and we might let Hunters Yarn go one way and Impaire Et Passe go another. We’ll have a chat with Simon and Isaac about it. He's looked a bit special.

Form profile

The winner of a point-to-point at Loughanmore in April, he made an impressive winning racecourse debut in a bumper at Navan in January.

Trainer says

He made a winning debut for us at Navan and looks a nice type.

Form profile

A 139-rated hurdler, she has won three of her four starts, including a Grade 2 juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown’s Christmas meeting, but was beaten after meeting with significant interference in the Spring Juvenile Hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Trainer says

I think she is still the one to beat in the juvenile division, given her run at the Dublin Racing Festival. She was just very unlucky there.

Form profile

Rated 96 on the Flat, she made it third-time lucky over hurdles when winning a mares’ maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse in February.

Trainer says

She has class. She's learning to race like a jumping mare more than a Flat mare. She's settling better and jumping better. She is in the Mares' Novices' Hurdle, and I'd say that is where she's going next.

Form profile

A 128-rated hurdler, he won a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown’s Christmas meeting prior to finishing third in the Spring Juvenile Hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Trainer says

I'd imagine he'll go to the Boodles. He could go for the Triumph, and he might be good enough.
