Racing: Hedgehunter, the 2005 Grand National winner, is under the spotlight for a return to action over hurdles this weekend.
The 12-year-old is one of nine entries from the Willie Mullins yard for Saturday's Punchestown Five Day Festival Hurdle over two and a half miles.
"Hedgehunter was eligible for the race so I stuck him in with the others as I've been quite happy with him in recent weeks," the County Carlow trainer told the Racing Post.
"If he continues to please during the week he could well run on Saturday — it's a question of getting a race into him."
Hedgehunter, ninth in last season's Grand National, made a disappointing return to the track last month when he was pulled up in the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase.
