Quevega galloped into retirement when making history with a sixth successive victory for the Willie Mullins team in the Grade One over a two and a half miles last March.

She will be a virtually impossible task to follow, but Annie Power is extremely talented and her only defeat in 12 starts came when she was second to More Of That in the World Hurdle at last year’s Festival. Annie Power has been sidelined since winning at Punchestown in early May, but Mullins reports her in tip-top shape ahead of her comeback.
