RICH RICCI and Willie Mullins will today decide whether Douvan will skip the Champion Chase and take on stablemate Un De Sceaux in the Ryanair Chase instead. ‘The Ryanair has cut up fairly badly and we just thought it was worth considering going a different route,’ said Ricci, who also owns Champion Chase contender Min. ‘I had a chat with Willie yesterday and we’re open to the idea.’
