We couldn’t be any happier than we are with Faugheen

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.

He was unbelievable last year, and is in great form for his first start of the season. He worked really well on Tuesday morning, we couldn’t be happier with him, so fingers crossed things will go to plan.

John Codd, who rides him at home, kept on telling us he’s in great form, and we saw that for ourselves on Tuesday. I’d say he’s definitely more forward going to Punchestown than he was going to Ascot for his first run of last season. We’re delighted with him, and really looking forward to it now.
