Perth celebrates exceptional quality as Willie Mullins brings four runners for Wednesday’s card.
This year marks the first time in eight years that Mullins has had runners at the Scottish course. In 2016, he sent over a team of five to a three-day meeting, resulting in three winners and two seconds as he chased the championship title. His success continued this time, with a four-timer at Ayr on Saturday, including Macdermott’s victory in the Scottish Grand National.
Mullins still qualifies for novices, having finished runner-up in three hurdle races before transitioning to fences. Perth’s head of racing, Matthew Taylor, expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming event, noting that the quality of the competition is stronger than ever. Despite being light on numbers, Mullins has declared four runners, demonstrating his intent to secure the trainers’ championship.
The Listed mares’ chase and the Listed novice hurdle have attracted impressive fields, with notable previous winners. Taylor also mentioned that the ground will be soft, and the weather forecast does not predict significant drying.
