Trainer Willie Mullins expressed his disappointment at his star novices Zaidpour and Mikael D’Haguenet’s performances at Leopardstown today.

Mullins stated “I was disappointed with Zaidpour (second in the Grade 1 novice hurdle) and Mikael D’Haguenet (third in his Grade 1 novice chase) today. I don’t know what to do with either next but might try a few different things next.”

“I’ve no comment on their next races and will spend a week or two thinking about plans.”
