Which horses is Willie Mullins running in the 2025 Irish Grand National?

Willie Mullins runs horses in this year's BoyleSports Irish Grand National as he seeks to win the race for the third time.

The Carlow handler had to wait a long time to taste victory in the Fairyhouse race. Burrows Saint, steered by Ruby Walsh, obliged in 2019 to the delight of favourite backers.

And he only had to wait four years for his next victory. In 2023, I Am Maximus was an impressive winner before going on to win the Aintree Grand National the following year.

This time around, Mullins, who is also chasing the UK trainers' championship, has a relatively small squad for the race.

His team is headlined by Quai De Bourbon, who will be ridden by his number one stable jockey Paul Townend.

Quai De Bourbon has not completed the course on his last two starts - falling and unseating - but looks like a classy sort that could develop into a Grade 1 chaser.

Mullins also runs the JP McManus-owned Sa Majeste, who was last seen running a cracker to finish third in the Kim Muir Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Sa Majeste will be the ride of Simon Torrens in the big race.
