He is set to go off the long odds-on favourite
Willie Mullins will hope Anzadam can enhance his Cheltenham Festival claims when he runs at Naas on Sunday.
The trainer raised this weekend’s International Hurdle at Cheltenham as a possible next port of call in the aftermath, but the five-year-old instead remains on home soil for a race won by Espoir d’Allen en route to winning the Champion Hurdle six years ago. “I was so disappointed. Even though we had Majborough in the Triumph Hurdle, Anzadam was right up there, so that’s the sort of company I’d put him with.”
