Willie Mullins thinks Douvan could be his best ever

Willie Mullins hailed Douvan as "potentially the best horse we've had" after the brilliant six-year-old won his 13th race on the bounce in the Paddy Power Cashcard Chase at Leopardstown.

Once again, Mullins' superstar was backed as if defeat was out of the question and that is how it proved, with the 1-8 favourite jumping quickly and accurately in second as Alisier D'Irlande set the pace.
