Five under-the-radar Willie Mullins horses including a ‘world-class’ hurdler who’s 33-1 for Cheltenham

IT'S no secret that Willie Mullins has an awe-inspiring army of horses tucked away at his Closutton base. But there are simply so many that it can be easy to miss a big performance from some of the lesser-known runners. And with attention on the Cheltenham Festival ante-post markets, it's easy to get bogged down in obsessing over the big names.

That's why, given his incredibly strength in depth, it's worth considering some of the stars who perhaps aren't shining quite so brightly… just yet. Here, I look at five names who have caught the eye in recent weeks. Kawaboomga. 5yo gelding. Owner: JP McManus.
Kawaboomga was impressive on debut for Mullins when finishing runner-up to Kopek Des Bordes in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle on Boxing Day. Twice a runner in France - where he won a bumper on heavy - he was kept to the outer by Simon Torrens before making his move before the last.
