More News From Willie


Willie Mullins expressed delight after Mikael D'Haguenet and Hurricane Fly came through a racecourse gallop with flying colours.

Mikael D'Haguenet has been sidelined since the spring of 2009 when he won Grade One novice hurdles at the Cheltenham and Punchestown Festivals.

He delighted connections in a schooling session over fences after racing at Punchestown and will soon soon begin a novice chase campaign, with the Bar One Racing Drinmore Novice Chase at Fairyhouse on Sunday week a possible starting point.

"Mikael rode out on Monday morning and seems fine, so we're very pleased," said Mullins.
