Mullins sends first runners to Huntingdon Willie Mullins is looking forward to saddling his first ever runners at Huntingdon today after declaring both Screaming Rose and Snag List for the Betfred Mobile Henrietta Knight Mares' Standard Open NH Flat Race. The champion trainer is a dominant force in the bumper sphere and fires a formidable twin assault at this Listed prize. Screaming Rose is unbeaten after two starts at Galway and Cork respectively and will be ridden by David Mullins, who partnered Nichols Canyon to a shock victory over previously unbeaten stable companion Faugheen in last month's Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown. Snag List, the mount of Katie Walsh, looked the part when making a winning debut at Gowran Park in early October and was far from disgraced when finishing fourth in a red-hot bumper at Cheltenham's Open meeting. Mullins said: "I visited Huntingdon with a friend about 30 years ago, just to see the races, but I've not had runners there before. "I have been seeking more opportunities to run in Britain." Huntingdon's general manager Sian Williams said: "Betfred Peterborough Chase day is our most high profile and prestigious fixture of the year and we are thrilled that Ireland's leading trainer Willie Mullins is sending horses to run here. "It will add extra interest to what is set to be an exciting occasion."
