guigousuperstar11 Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Willie Mullins believes Vautour is “ready for anything” ahead of a trip to Leopardstown on Friday. The five-year-old is hoping to extend his winning streak to seven in the Novice Chase and is the odds-on favourite. He beat 15 opponents at Navan last month to maintain his unbeaten record since joining Mullins. “I think he’s ready for anything,” said Ireland’s champion trainer. “He looks the part in everything he’s done so far. I’m looking forward to him running.” Vautour won under Ruby Walsh on his last four starts but Paul Townend – who was aboard the five-year-old when winning at Punchestown in January – will partner him on Friday. “Vautour was awesome in Navan first time over fences, but when he won the Supreme he jumped those hurdles without making any mistake,” Mullins added. “He looked like he was on a different set of rails. “I thought Ruby was going a mad pace [in the Supreme] but Ruby has this clock in his head and he knew he was going a pace he was happy with, but the others were struggling and couldn’t keep it up. He was foot-perfect at every hurdle.
