WILLIE MULLINS is hoping another comeback kid can hit the heights in Ireland this weekend.
Last weekend, Mullins saw Faugheen saunter to victory in the Morgiana Hurdle and this Saturday he unleashes Min back on a racecourse for the first time since December last year.
Mullins’ six-year-old has been sidelined by injury since running away with the Grade 1 Racing Post Novice Chase at Leopardstown.
He will face just two opponents at Gowran in the two-and-a-half-mile Ladbrokes Bet 10 & Get 40 On The Grid Chase.

Patrick Mullins, assistant to his father, told At The Races: “It will be fantastic to get him back. He’s only been beaten once for us and that was by Altior, and he had Buveur D’Air behind him.
“He’s hugely exciting. Dick Dowling, who is our head lad, looks after him and rides him out and he’s very happy with him.

“It would look a nice starting point. It is two and a half miles in heavy ground, but he would look well-in on ratings.
“He’s ready to start off.”
