Willie Mullins set to continue Matheson monopoly with three massive chances

Thursday: 2.20 Leopardstown
Matheson Hurdle (Grade 1) | 2m | 4yo+ | RTE/ITV4

Reminders of the power of the Willie Mullins team are hardly required on the final day of the Leopardstown fixture.

But anyone who needs a specific angle on the trainer's challenge for the Matheson Hurdle may reflect on the knowledge that Vauban, the likely outsider of his three runners, is one of the most exciting young hurdlers in training and a Grade 1 winner on three consecutive occasions last season.
