Record-breaking Irish trainer Willie Mullins is looking to win the showpiece event for the fourth time in six years. But Hewick, who cost just £800 and won the King George VI Chase, has been ruled out of the contest which boasts prize money of £625,000. "Galopin des Champs came out of his last race very well and I am very happy," said Mullins, who also won the race with Al Boum Photo in 2019 and 2020.
