Mullins sweet on Bordini Willie Mullins has spoken in glowing terms about Bordini and unusually he already looks his main contender for the Cheltenham Bumper. Mullins usually has a handful of contenders for the Festival race he has dominated down the years and it is usually a conundrum for punters choosing the pick of his crop. However, the four-year-old has already won twice impressively and the normally cautious Mullins had no hesitation in nominating him as his best this year. "Bordini would certainly be the best of the bumper horses we've run this season," Mullins told Irish Horse TV. "He'd been catching my eye all autumn and while we have a nice team of bumper horses this season, they'll have to go to catch up with him. "He compares with anything we've had before and what he shows us at home he does on the racetrack."
