Douvan to be aimed at Cork's Hilly Way

Champion Trainer Willie Mullins today indicated that Douvan will run next in the Hilly Way Chase at Cork on December 11th.

Unbeaten in each of his 10 starts for Mullins, the dual Cheltenham festival winner had been a high profile candidate for Saturday's Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown but Un De Sceaux represents Mullins in that Grade 1 contest instead.

Speaking at Thurles today, he stated "Douvan might go for the Hilly Way - it would be the obvious thing for him here."
