Mullins expects bold show from Aranleigh Tony Mullins has warned punters Aranleigh should not be left out of calculations in the Dr PJ Moriarty Novice Chase at Leopardstown on Sunday. The eight-year-old recorded his second win over fences with a narrow success in a Grade Three at Punchestown in November and although he has since been off the track, Mullins is anticipating a bold show. Mullins said: "It's obviously a good race but I think he'll be competitive and has a better chance than what his price suggests. "A few people were saying he was lucky to win the last day but I just think he idles in front. "People have knocked this horse but he's won five times from 10 starts, was third in a Champion Bumper, and finished third behind two Grade One winners (Casey Jones and Golden Silver) on his second start over fences. "If everything goes well, the plan would be to go to Cheltenham for the RSA Chase, but we'll just have to see how he gets on at the weekend."
