We're delighted to have Faugheen back in business and ready for action

Faugheen is good to go in the Unibet Morgiana Hurdle and we're delighted to have him back in action for the first time since his 15-length win in the Irish Champion Hurdle in January 2016.
He was due to run in that same race last season but went lame and had to be withdrawn. He wasn't quite ready to run at the Punchestown festival but only a short summer break and everything has gone right with him since he returned to training.
I'd say he's a good bit straighter now than for the Morgiana two years ago, when he was beaten half a length by Nichols Canyon. That was the only defeat of his career we're all looking forward to his return in a race we've won for the past six years.
