Mullins hints of possible return for Limini
Willie Mullins has insisted Limini could make her return to action at Punchestown in the Quevega Mares Hurdle.
Mullins wants to give last year's Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle winner a race before heading to Cheltenham.
Although she will come up against stern opposition when she meets Gordon Elliott-trained Apple's Jade.
"She's working well and hopefully she will run in that mares' race at Punchestown," Mullins said.
"I think she's coming back to herself - if not back to herself already.
"Hopefully she'll get to Punchestown but the way things are going this year you'd wonder!
Limini is 4/1 to win the OLBG Mares Hurdle at the Festival, with Apple’s Jade 7/4 favorite to break the strangle-hold Mullins has on the race.
The 60-year-old gave updates on Faugheen and Min, claiming the two are returning slowly.
"Faugheen rode out on Saturday and we're continuing all the time," Mullins continued.
"Min is the same, he's going slowly and we're going to have to ramp it up soon and see what happens."
