Mullins confirms trio for Morgiana Willie Mullins today confirmed that Faugheen will be joined by stable-mates Nichols Canyon and Wicklow Brave in the StanJames.com Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown this Sunday. The Champion Hurdler will make his return to action in the Grade One contest and is likely to go to post at prohibitive odds. Nichols Canyon, a four-time Grade One winner as a novice last season, looks the one that may give him most to do. County Hurdle winner Wicklow Brave, who was third in the Group One Irish St Leger on the level in September, completes a formidable trio from Closutton. Annie Power, who also holds an entry, will as expected wait for the Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse at the end of the month. "Faugheen, Nichols Canyon and Wicklow Brave will all run," said Mullins at Clonmel today. "Faugheen is very very well, so he is, and I was very taken with his work recently. "Annie Power will wait for the Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse." He added:- "I have five going to Cheltenham, two for Cross-Country races, two mares for a Bumper and Renetti in the Greatwood Hurdle."
