Well, the dust has settled somewhat on Faugheen’s shock defeat behind Nichols Canyon in the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown last Sunday, a result that seemed to leave both Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh totally perplexed.

There’s high-class action on both sides of the Irish Sea this weekend, but the race I and, I suspect, many other National Hunt fans are most looking forward to is tomorrow’s Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown, where Champion Hurdler Faugheen makes his return.
