News
Willie Mullins must rely on crack mare Vroum Vroum Mag if he is to win the 32Red
Christmas Hurdle for a third year in a row at Kempton on Boxing Day.
Although Faugheen did not
figure among the possibles for Kempton, Walsh believes the 2015 Champion Hurdle
hero will be back in action shortly. He told Racing UK: "Willie didn't
enter Faugheen. I don't think he thought Faugheen was ready to go to England
just yet.
"Faugheen is fine, not a bother on him. He's in at
Leopardstown on the 29th. I don't know if he's going to run there or not, but
it won't be too long before you see him.
