Willie Mullins intends to run three horses in the Emirates Melbourne Cup at Flemington on November 7.

The County Carlow handler came desperately close to Melbourne glory two years ago when Max Dynamite finished second to Prince Of Penzance.

Max Dynamite is once again in contention for the big race in Australia, as are stablemates Wicklow Brave and Thomas Hobson.

Mullins told the Irish Independent: "They'll earn more money out there than they will over here jumping and if I could I'd run the three of them in the Melbourne Cup."
