For a bit of FUN, lets try and guess who goes where 8 weeks out. Lets stick to the 5 open company G1's, the 3 G1 novice chases and the mares, we'll be here forever with novice hurdlers and it will get boring and messy very quickly.
Arkle - Min
Champion Hurdle - Annie Power, Faugheen
Mares - Vroum Vroum Mag, Limini
RSA - Bellshill
Queen Mother - Douvan
JLT - Yorkhill
Ryanair - Un De Sceaux
Stayers - Nichols Canyon
Gold Cup - Djakadam
Shaneshill could go in the Ryanair, but for a bit of extra beef he can join Nichols Canyon in the Stayers and give the Wylie's a serious crack at landing one of the features. That leaves Black Hercules to play second fiddle to Un De Sceaux in the Ryanair.
That's what I feel are the right races and would like to see them in, and is for the benefit of Mullins over the owners. I definitely don't expect AP and Faugheen to be together in the CH, providing they both make it to the meeting, but one can dream. It'd make the festival a thousand times more interesting and exciting.

P.S. I know Un De Sceaux is owned by Eddie O'Connell, but he's good enough to be mentioned here.

Don't worry Willie, there will soon be as many graded races at the festival as you have good horses in your stable and being no longer faced with (gasp) running two good horses in the same race. Shokking emissions such as 2.5 mile hurdle and mares chase are surely not far away
How about (seriously) Queen Mother - Douvan Gold Cup - Douvan |

No Arctic Fire in the Champion Hurdle entries. No mention of Yorkhill either on the Sportinglife website so can put that argument to bed!!!

As an aside, it is not just Mullins this year. JP has somehow got hold of some decent prospects who will likely be shuffled around, perhaps running juveniles in the novice hurdles, and then there are the Gigginstown horses.

Il give up on quoting you Well Chief! It should have read- "Decs are out and I still pick a non runner! Sums my antepost life up!
