WILLIE MULLINS has revealed there is every chance Faugheen could take on Nichols Canyon and Arctic Fire in the BHP Insurances Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on January 24.

The impressive Christmas Hurdle winner has not run between December and the Cheltenham Festival in either of the last two years, but Ireland's champion trainer could alter plans this season.

Writing exclusively in his Saturday Racing Post column, Mullins says: "There is every chance that Faugheen will run. We'll also have Nichols Canyon and Arctic Fire in the race and as of now all three owners are very keen to run their horses.

"Faugheen went straight to Cheltenham last year after winning the Christmas Hurdle and this time Rich [Ricci - owner] is bursting to run him in the Leopardstown race. That's the way it's looking although we'll review the situation closer to the race."
