WILLIE MULLINS is responsible for six of the eight acceptors for the Grade 1 Unibet Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown on Sunday.
The champion trainer, who has won 10 of the last 11 renewals, has included two previous winners of the race in his possible raiding party, 2019 winner Saldier and Sharjah – who won in 2018 and again last year.
But it’s more significant that last season’s top juvenile Vauban and the exciting State Man and Sir Gerhard are also among the acceptors.
Gordon Elliott (inset), who doubled up with Harmonya Maker and Gerri Colonge (both ridden by Jack Kennedy) in Fairyhouse yesterday, intends running Teahupoo while the Noel Meade-trained Jesse Evans will complete the Morgiana line-up.
