Mullins finalising Aintree team Willie Mullins is finalising his Aintree team - but one who will not be making the journey is Arkle winner Duc Des Genievres. The six-year-old grey sauntered to victory at the Cheltenham Festival, surprising even his trainer with the ease of his win. However, Mullins feels the Doom Bar Maghull Novices' Chase on Saturday will come too soon for him, and instead will wait for Punchestown. Aramon, sixth to stablemate Klassical Dream in the Supreme, is in the mix for Friday's Top Novices' Hurdle. "Aramon might run in the two-mile novice hurdle, but Duc Des Genievres had a hard race at Cheltenham and will wait for Punchestown," said Mullins. Mullins also expects to run four in Saturday's Randox Health Grand National last year's second Pleasant Company, Rathvinden, Pairofbrowneyes and Up For Review - and two in the Topham on Friday. "Cadmium and Polidam will both run in the Topham, and all my National horses will run," he said.
