Mullins plans Haydock and Ascot raids

Willie Mullins appears to be preparing another assault on this weekend’s British action with entries at both of the principal Saturday meetings at Ascot and Haydock.

Ireland’s champion trainer stated his intentions at the start of the campaign to send more of his horses on their travels and has been as good as his word, saddling runners at Aintree, Ascot, Cheltenham, Kempton, Newbury and Warwick this term.

While he will not be represented in the showpiece Sodexo Clarence House Chase at Ascot, Mullins has made entries in other races on the card, with Supreme Carolina in both the OLBG.com Mares’ Hurdle and the Keltbray Holloway’s Hurdle.
