In years gone by, the Willie Mullins' stable has seen a few successful winners cross the line at Cheltenham. This year, he tips the Cheltenham Festival to see a real quality horse of his in the form of its life, and with the potential to taste glory in the Weatherbys Champion Bumper.
Sicilian Secret impressed in his outing at Leopardstown, so much so that I'm hearing that Mullins' is quietly confident that the horse can do the same at next week's meeting. He understandably doesn't want to get too excited, but you can tell that he's looking forward to this one running on the big stage.
Mullins' has plenty of other options for the bumper too, but appears to see Siclian Secret as the one that could bring the prize back to Ireland .... yet again. The Irish do have a habit of winning this one, it has to be said!
Gagewell Flyer and Cranky Corner could also feature in the mix for this race, but Sicilian Secret's impressive run has everyone with eyes on the Cheltenham Festival, excited at the prospect of the Mullins trained horse running to his potential.
In fact I am also hearing that William Hill has made him the 4/1 favourite for the race, such was the impact of his run at Leopardstown.
