Mullins ponders swift Fairyhouse return with Gaelic Warrior

Should Gaelic Warrior be given more time to recuperate, Blood Destiny is likely to try to give Ireland's champion trainer a sixth successive win in the WillowWarm Gold Cup

Gaelic Warrior powers to victory in the Arkle Challenge Trophy Novices' Chase last week. 

Having bounced back to his brilliant best in last week’s Arkle Challenge Trophy Novices' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, Gaelic Warrior could make a swift return to the track by running in the WillowWarm Gold Cup at Fairyhouse on Easter Sunday.

Stablemate and subsequent dual Gold Cup winner Galopin Des Champs ran at both meetings as a novice, falling at the last when well clear in the Turners Novices' Chase at Cheltenham before strolling to victory on home soil a month later.
