Un De Sceaux has Mullins purring

Willie Mullins is relishing the prospect of sending Un De Sceaux to the Cheltenham Festival after he brilliantly won the Frank Ward Solicitors Arkle Chase at Leopardstown.

The unbeaten hurdler fluffed his lines on his chasing debut at Thurles, but got back on track at Fairyhouse last month.

He then stepped up to another level on Sunday when he gave Grade One winner Clarcam lumps of weight and a comprehensive beating.
