I reckon if they all stay sound he'll run them as I suggested.

Last season he was forced to run Annie Power when Faugheen got injured.

If both were to arrive fit and well next March it's a no brainer he will send Annie Power from the Champion Hurdle and Faugheen to the World Hurdle

He knows Annie Power doesn't get the trip in the World Hurdle and it would be crazy to switch her the way she won the Champion.

As for Faugheen he has already won over 3 miles at Ballysteen. Granted that means very little when it comes to real racing as way to may win over 3 miles in p2p but wouldn't get the trip in a horsebox at Cheltenham. That said it does give a bit of a guide and WPM seemed positive he will get 3 miles easily.

With Mullins is all about hard cash his share of the purse, make no mistake about that.

He could take the easy route and run them both in the champion as the money for second is close on 100k but if Thistlecrack goes chasing Faugheen would win the WH running backwards as it is so poorly contested at the moment. It will most likely be worth close 200k to the winner next season. So it is unlikely they will not take advantage. That said if it is a real bad race Annie could probably win it but why take the chance?

I reckon Apple Jade is 100% certain to run in the Mares as really it's her best option. She got more class than Vroum Vroum Mag imo who can run in at least another 2 races she could win

Anyway I never said I was backing them I was suggesting you should:lol:
