2023 Morgiana Hurdle Runners

Willie Mullins has won 11 of the last 12 renewals of the Morgiana Hurdle and it's last season's impressive winner, State Man who currently dominates the market. Mullins star beat Sharjah in this race 12 months ago and went on to score further victories at Leopardstown and at the Punchestown Festival.

The defending champion will have three rivals to worry about this weekend, after stablemates Impare Et Passe and Ashroe Diamond were taken out. Willie Mullins does run Echoes In Rain, who placed second in a Group Three on the flat three weeks ago.

Only Gordon Elliott has been able to break Mullins' Morgiana monopoly in recent seasons and he'll have twp runners in Saturday's main event. Cesarewitch and County Hurdle runner-up, Pied Piper will make an appearance, along with eight-year-old Fils D'oudairies, who's won three of his four starts since the end of last season.
