Champion Trainer Willie Mullins has indicated that he will have a strong representation in Sunday's Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown but will wait until tomorrow morning before deciding on the participation of his prime runner.
Mullins has seven of the 10 entries for the Grade 1 race, and while Champion Hurdlers Faugheen and Annie Power lead the list, he has also entered Ivan Grozny, Nichols Canyon, Sempre Medici, Simenon and Vroum Vroum Mag.
Speaking following his win with Miss Me Now at Clonmel he stated "we'll see how things are in the morning but I'm not too worried about the likes of Annie Power, as it is the other ones (his lesser rated horses) I'm worried about.
"There isn't a opportunity for those horses to run and there's nothing for them in the immediate future so we'll be running as many as we can - the race needs to be supported and they may as well run there."
