Faugheen can establish his Champion Hurdle credentials

It’s all systems go for the start of Punchestown today and I will arrive in a positive frame of mind, after making a successful comeback aboard Un de Sceaux at Auteuil on Saturday.

I was absolutely delighted at the way the race in France worked out and it was just terrific to return with a winner.

What made Auteuil so satisfying, from my point of view, is that Un de Sceaux is a difficult ride and was great preparation for five of the biggest days of the season.
