Cheltenham Festival 2020: Willie Mullins stable tour including news on Al Boum Photo, Faugheen and Benie Des Dieux

• Chacun Pour Soi: "He was much better at Leopardstown the other day, he needed the run at Christmas. I think he is improving all the time and I think he is going to be a big player in the Champion Chase. We are very happy with how he came out of the race. He showed us early on that he could be different class and the first day we schooled him it really opened our eyes. I'm very hopeful he will handle Cheltenham. It is a hell of a race."
• Kemboy: "I don't like it when a horse falls at a track like he did in the Gold Cup last year. He generally jumped well in the Irish Gold Cup last time. His two runs this year have been very good, we were pleased with him last time. He should get the best of the ground on the Friday of Cheltenham which will suit him. If he could finish in the top three or four in a Gold Cup I'd be delighted. But he has it all to do I think."
• Carefully Selected: "He looks born and bred for the National Hunt Chase. He gallops and jumps, he doesn't look very quick but he is deceptive. His last two runs he has looked beaten but come back and won well."
• Asterion Forlonge: "(Owner) Jim Donnelly said to me very early on, 'Willie do what you think is best'. And at the moment we think the horse should go for the Supreme. This horse had been aiming for the Albert Bartlett the last year, we didn't think he had any speed and he shows us very little at home. We ran him at the Dublin Festival to ask the question about where we should run at him Cheltenham, and I think we got our answer."
• The Big Getaway: "He will go for the Ballymore. I was delighted with him last time and he is coming along nicely. If you look at him, he is a future chaser, so you'd hope we are talking about him this time next year. I would have liked to get more experience into him but he is a good jumper and he has a huge engine. I think he has a fighting chance."
• Penhill: "He ran very well at Navan the other day. He has come out of the race well and I needed to get that run into him. It will put him right for the Stayers'. He's taken a lot more training this year and he is holding onto his condition much more this time. He will be given a day away as well, he needs a lot of work."
• Appreciate It: "He has done everything right. He is a real big chasing type, he stays well and he has a huge cruising speed, which is what you need at Cheltenham in the Bumper. The way he did it at Leopardstown was very impressive and I'm very happy with how he has progressed. He is one of our main hopes for the week."

• Saint Roi: "He is a nice horse. We will put him in all the handicaps and a lot will depend on what mark he gets - but I wouldn't put you off backing him."
• Ciel De Niege: "He ran a cracker the other day in the Betfair Hurdle and he will be entered in all the handicaps. He has gone up 3lb for that run so it'll be either the County or the Coral Cup for him."
• Franco De Port: "He will be entered in all the handicaps. He will probably get into the Martin Pipe so that could be the race for him. I think he is a nice sort and he could be on a nice mark."

• Cash Back: "He reminds me of Un De Sceaux, his style of racing and running. If we get soft or heavy in the going desciption for him I will be very pleased. His attitude is fantastic and he is still improving, so we have got to believe we can reverse the Notebook form in the Arkle."
• Melon: "He will go for the Marsh Chase. He showed us last time out that he was ready for a trip. While his jumping is good, I don't think it's good enough for an Arkle. He has finished second at the Festival three times, he seems to bring his A-game to the meeting."
• Un De Sceaux: "Connections are very keen to run in the Champion Chase. We didn't get tactics right with him in the Ryanair last year, we dropped him in which wasn't the best idea, and he still has a huge amount of ability despite his age. I'd love to see lots of rain for him. It will be his last Cheltenham hurrah and Patrick will probably ride him.
• Easy Game: "I would like to run him where the ground is better. So that could mean the RSA on the Thursday over the Marsh, because this lad would like decent ground. Conditions will dictate where he goes. When we bought him we were thinking hurdles and Flat races, I never thought he would jump a fence. But when Robbie Power rode him over fences he was buzzing and said he is an absolute natural."
• Cilaos Emery: "After his win the other day I think we will be supplementing him for the Champion Hurdle. We thought we would run him in the Red Mills Trial to see what he could do, and he went there and did it. He wasn't spectacular but I loved the way he put the race to bed in a few strides after three out. It is such an open race this year. We've schooled him since Gowran and he jumped well. I think the pace of the Champion Hurdle will sharpen his jumping up even more. He can mix it, so he will likely go back over fences at some stage."
• Allaho: "Having had a chat with the owners, I'd say at the moment the RSA is the probable race for him. He lacks a bit of experience but he gallops and jumps, his jumping is a huge asset, and he stays very well. He was quite keen the other day, and that is the only reason we would still keep the Marsh under consideration. We will see how he works, at the moment I'm going RSA but we will weigh it up."
• Aione: "He gallops and jumps well and he has won his last two nicely at Gowran and Navan. He is an improving horse who stays well, so we would probably be leaning towards the Albert Bartlett."
