Mullins Eyeing Champion Bid Tom Mullins is leaning towards a crack at next week's ACC Bank Champion Hurdle with Aintree winner Asian Maze.The seven-year-old is on course for the Punchestown Festival after notching an effortless win in the Grade One Scottish And Newcastle Aintree Hurdle over two and a half miles.She had previously been brought back in trip to contest the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival where she suffered a nasty fall.'She's an extraordinary mare really,' Mullins told At The Races.'After Aintree the three-mile race (Whitewater Champion Stayers' Hurdle) looked the easier option rather than taking on Brave Inca over two miles.'I'm not sure which race she will run in next week but if I was to have a bet at this stage I would say the two-miler, but it's up in the air at the moment.'There are a few things to take into account such as the ground so we'll decide nearer the time.'?
