Staying at home for Faugheen and Felix

It’s a busy weekend for Willie Mullins’ stable, with runners at four meetings, including this afternoon at Aintree, but I’m staying at home to ride at Navan, where the exciting Faugheen and Felix Yonger hold very strong claims.

But, I start off on Vautour in a 30-runner maiden hurdle. He had two runs in France, finishing second in a couple of hurdles, firstly at Pau and then at Auteuil.

He does things nicely at home, though we'd have preferred nine rivals rather than 29, but there's not a lot we can do about that.
