Mullins - Quevega in great form ahead of festival

Willie Mullins has issued an upbeat bulletin about the rarely-sighted but brilliant mare Quevega.

She has won the last three renewals of the OLBG-sponsored David Nicholson Mares’ Hurdle, and is an odds-on favourite to make it four next month.

Apart from her first season with Mullins, Quevega has made a winning seasonal reappearance in the race, a preparation that is virtually unheard off, but seems to suit the eight-year-old well.
