Douvan should make a winning start to his chasing career in the Irish Stallion Farms Beginners Chase in Navan tomorrow.

Vautour was most impressive in the 2014 Supreme Novices’ Hurdle and, despite his blip at Leopardstown in December, remains really exciting. The quicker conditions should prompt improvement, and recent reports are positive.

Annie Power is among 20 remaining entries for the OLBG Mares’ Hurdle on the opening day of the Cheltenham Festival next Tuesday.

Henry de Bromhead is no nearer to deciding whether to let Sizing Europe return to Cheltenham for another tilt at the Queen Mother Champion Chase.

The season concludes today and I’m hoping to go out on the best possible note and guide Annie Power to victory in the Champion Hurdle for mares.

Willie Mullins filled the first three places in the Grade 2 Greenmount Park Novice Chase in Limerick yesterday as 2/5 favourite Felix Yonger was turned over by stable-companion The Paparrazi Kid, with Balnaslow in third place.

I’m off on my travels again today to ride two horses for Willie Mullins at Newbury, including Prince De Beauchene in the Hennessy Gold Cup.
