Novice chasing the game for Un Atout Un Atout, one of a whole host of exciting prospects for Willie Mullins this season, looks set to embark on a chasing campaign. The six-year-old has not run since lifting the Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown in May 2013, missing the whole of last term. Owned by Gigginstown House Stud, his sole career defeat came when fourth to stablemate Champagne Fever in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle in Cheltenham that year. Patrick Mullins, assistant to his father, said: "He's training away and hopefully he will go novice chasing." Winner of his bumper at Naas in January 2012, the son of Robin Des Champs won his maiden at Navan before signalling his class with a 19-length demolition of Rory O'Moore back at Naas ahead of his Cheltenham run.
