Invader Heading To Festival

Irish Invader was introduced into the betting for the Weatherbys Champion Bumper after making a highly-satisfactory debut for Willie Mullins at Fairyhouse.

Cashmans gave the five-year-old a 16-1 quote for the Cheltenham Festival after he kept on well under Katie Walsh to nail Rock House in the Rockview (Q.R.) INH Flat Race.

'He is a horse who will go to Cheltenham and he will improve for that as he has not done much,' said Mullins.

'I will look forward to Cheltenham with this one and he has got plenty of toe.

'I probably won´t run him again and he will go straight for the Champion Bumper.'
