Mag Mullins doesn't expect to have any runners at Cheltenham this year with the County Kilkenny trainer explaining: "I'm not going to bring anything over, the only one I might have brought was Mumbo Jumbo (a dual bumper winner).

"We're going to wait for Punchestown now with him and Cairdin (winner of a bumper and a maiden hurdle) will go to Fairyhouse.

"I don't know what the story with The Westener Boy (so impressive at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day) is.

"Down In Neworleans (winner of his last three) got a little bang there and he is perfect again. It might be the back end before he'll come back – Galway time, September maybe.

"Everything has scanned perfect again but we'll just wait as he is still only a young horse (a 7yo).

"He got a little bang and we just took a pull. It wasn't that serious but after winning three in a row for us we said we wouldn't overdo it and he is perfect again now.

"He is after getting every chance now." (EM)
