Willie Mullins' Sunday Runners: A Deep Dive with the Trainer (2026)

Willie Mullins' Sunday race picks are here, and they're sure to spark some debate! In this exclusive column, the renowned trainer reveals his top horses for the big races at Leopardstown and Limerick. But will his choices stir up controversy?

First up, Mullins highlights Kitzbuhel's stunning performance in the Kauto Star, hinting at a future entry in the King George if Kempton survives another year. A bold statement, but will it pay off?

Then, there's Gaelic Warrior, who gave it his all in the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase, despite the ground being a tad too firm. The race itself was a thrilling affair, with The Jukebox Man's victory promoting a sense of pride for Kempton.

Fact To File, according to jockey Mark Walsh, struggled with the ground, suggesting a preference for softer surfaces in future races.

And finally, Narcisco Has, a horse with immense potential, showed significant improvement in his first run for Mullins, benefiting from a tactical shift at Leopardstown. Mullins believes he'll continue to flourish as the season progresses.

But here's where it gets interesting: Will Mullins' predictions come true? Will Kempton host the King George again? And which horse will surprise us all? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and let's discuss these exciting prospects!
