Thousand Stars set for Auteuil assignment Thousand Stars is one of 10 runners set to go to post for Saturday's Grand Prix d'Automne at Auteuil. Willie Mullins' 11-year-old has twice won the Grade One Grande Course de Haies d'Auteuil, better known as the French Champion Hurdle, at the venue but this will be his first attempt at this particular prize as he lines up under Ruby Walsh. Walsh's sister Katie will also be in action as she partners Broadway Buffalo for David Pipe while the Nick Williams-trained pair of Reve De Sivola and Aubusson are other familiar names in the field.
