Willie Mullins ‘taking no chances’ with Navan absentee Ferny Hollow

Willie Mullins has cancelled Ferny Hollow's engagement in the Fortria Chase. The trainer changed his flight and is now in Cheltenham. Allaho is going to miss the King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day. He has had some minor setbacks and will miss Christmas. It is early in this season and it is not safe to take any chances.

The National Gambling Helpline is on 0808 8020 133. The recommended bets are advised to over-18s.

Mullins, who also fell on each of his two previous attempts in the race, said of his latest…

Sky Bet Ebor preview: Willie Mullins and Joseph O'Brien

One is owned by JP McManus, another trained by Willie Mullins. It's Flat racing but not as we know it. The lure of the £300000 first prize means the heritage handicap is on many a radar right now and Joseph O'Brien and Mullins are both readying two horses apiece for this year's renewal. Let's start in the Green and Gold and Dawn Rising, winner of…

Timefigure analysis for weekend's action at Fairyhouse, Punchestown and Warwick

For the second weekend in succession, as tends to be the case domestically over jumps at this unrelentingly gloomy time of year, the fare on offer was of limited interest so I'll begin my review in Ireland where several bona fide Cheltenham candidates made an appearance, not all of whom retained that status afterwards, however. Fairyhouse's…

On the strength of that form, he was a short price for his reappearance and first start over the larger obstacles in the Irish…
