Un De Sceaux has Haydock option Willie Mullins has given Un De Sceaux a surprise entry in the Swift First Time Right Novices' Chase at Haydock on Saturday. Mullins is looking to get the exciting prospect back on track after he fell on his debut over fences at Thurles last month, when poised to take his unbeaten record to 10 races. The six-year-old, who is second favourite at around 5-1 for the Arkle at Cheltenham in March, is among 11 entries for the two-mile heat on Merseyside. Possible opposition includes Back To Bracka, Grate Fella and the Venetia Williams pair of Vivaccio and Tango De Juilley. Mullins has also given Un De Sceaux an entry in a two-mile beginners' chase at Fairyhouse on Saturday. "I've thrown him in a few races and he's also in at Fairyhouse on Saturday. Depending on the weather and things, we'll have a look at the entries and see what it's like," said the County Carlow handler. "Hopefully we'll get him out next weekend. "He certainly did look exciting until he fell. We'll have to see and hope he can get a clear round next time wherever he goes."
