Willie Mullins has removed a number of horses at the confirmation stage
Willie Mullins has decided to remove three of his horses from the Champion Chase at the confirmation stage.
Nicky Henderson’s star two-mile chaser has so far chased home his illustrious stablemate Constitution Hill in the 2022 Supreme Novices’ Hurdle before finding El Fabiolo too strong in the Arkle 12 months later. Also absent from last year’s Festival, Energumene will belatedly get the chance to complete his hat-trick, but was no match for Jonbon in the Clarence House Chase at Ascot in January.
George told Sky Sports Racing: “He’s in great form, he had a little blowout on the sand this morning and schooled well on Tuesday, so we’re ready to rock and roll.
