A very different sort for Willie Mullins as he has had a long flat Career, and looks as though he will be duel purpose horse going forward for the Mullins camp. He made his debut at Salisbury in October 2020 when trained by David Menuisier, winning a 1m 2 year old novice stakes by a neck from Aleas, then in November at Toulouse, won a 1m 2year old listed stakes by 1 ¼ l from Cirona (received 4lb). He reappeared at Sandown in April 2021, finishing 5th beaten 8 ½ l behind Alenquer, then in May at York in a 1m 2f group 2, was 8th, beaten 11l behind Hurricane Lane, then in June at Royal Ascot was las of 6 beaten 5 ½ l behind Alenquer in a 1m 4f group2.
He went to Goodwood next, finishing 7th in a 1m 4f group3, behind Ottoman Emperor, then was gelded and reappeared at Saint- Cloud in November finishing 6h, beaten 13 ½ l in a 1m 2f 3 year old conditions stakes behind Prince De Montfort. He reappeared in April 2022 at Kempton, winning a 1m 3f handicap by a head from Stay Well (received 4lb), then in May at York in a 1m 2f handicap was 8th beaten 32 ¼ l by Bollin Joan (received 16 lb). Next time at Sandown in August he was 13th beaten 12 l behind Protagonist (received 10 lb), then at Salisbury in September in a 1m 2f handicap, was last of 4 beaten 32 ¼ l by Okeechobee (received 13 lb).
In October at Kempton, he won a 1m 3f handicap by 4 ½ l from Sea The Casper (received 6lb), then in November at Kempton won a 1m 4f listed stakes by a neck from Purple Ribbon (received 5 lb). He Reappeared at Kempton in April last year finishing 6h beaten 31 3/4l behind Foxes Tales (received 3lb), then in April at Longchamp, finished 8th, beaten 9 ½ l in a 1m 7f group 3 behind Big Call.
In September in a 1m 4f group 3 he finished 4th, beaten 6 ½ l by Bay Bridge, then in November in a 1m 4f listed stakes, was 3rd beaten 5 ¾ l by Lion’s Pride (received 5lb). He then moved to Willie Mullins and reappeared at Punchestown in May this year winning a 2m maiden hurdle by 9l from Starcrossed Lover (received 5lb), then in June at Royal Ascot, won 1m 6f handicap by 1 1/4l from Lmay (received 4 lb).
His last run was at Ascot on Champions day where he finished last of 9 beaten 35 ¾ l behind Kyprios in the 2m Long Distance Cup.I would assume he will be handicap hurdling to star with and he is an interesting sort.
