Mullins happy with Hedgehunter
Aintree specialist Hedgehunter has begun steady work and is described as being in “great form” by Co Carlow handler Willie Mullins.
Owned by Trevor Hemmings, the veteran chaser enjoyed his finest hour when coasting to success in the Liverpool feature back in 2005.
Hedgehunter found only Numbersixvalverde too good the following year but could only manage ninth in the great race when last seen back in April.
He reappeared over timber at Thurles last season but Mullins is yet to formulate a plan for the 11-year-old at this early stage of the current campaign.
He said: “Hedgehunter is back with us and is doing steady work.
“He hasn’t done any fast work yet and I don’t have any plan for his first run of the season at this point. But he’s back and he’s in great form.”
