Faugheen And Douvan In Great Shape Leading owner Rich Ricci reports his powerful team of jumpers with Willie Mullins to be in great shape of the new season. Ricci was speaking to ITV Racing at Doncaster, where he watched Thomas Hobson run a fine race to be second in the Doncaster Cup. He said: "Last year at this time we were already behind the eight ball with so many injuries. Vautour died last September and we had all kinds of problems. "Touch wood, this is the healthiest that our horses have been in a long time. "Faugheen looks great and is moving well. That's the target - the Morgiana Hurdle or the Hatton's Grace. I think he'll be back. "Douvan is great and looks like his old self. "Last year he wasn't right for the whole season, but now he wants to own the yard, evidently, and is king of the roost! "Hopefully he'll be back as well. "There's a lot to look forward to."
