Willie Mullins (06 February 2025): "I’d say he’ll be better at Cheltenham. That’s what I hope anyway. I think the ground at Ascot was on the good side that day and I think our fella might want it softer. That would be a plus for him. So, we’ll stick with that plan, and we’ll pray for rain. The Champion Chase is the only race for him."

Willie Mullins (28 November 2024): "He’s in good shape and so far this season we’ve had no issues with him. The plan is to run him in the Hilly Way Chase at Cork. It would obviously be a tight turnaround for him to run at Christmas from there, so we might not be able to do that with him. The Clarence House Chase or the Dublin Racing Festival would be his options instead."

Willie Mullins (14 February 2023): "It was great to finally get a Champion Chase. I think the other day he just needed that run in the Clarence House, and he needed to see the different style of fence, even though he had schooled over them at home. Sometimes a horse just needs to get out and see the thing on the track itself, and I’m sure that experience will stand to him when it comes to jumping off in the Champion Chase."

Willie Mullins (26 October 2022): "The Hilly Way Chase at Cork is our preferred starting point for him at this stage, all being well. Whether we go back to the Clarence House at Ascot this season, I don’t know, but people got a lot of fun out of that last season, so we’ll consider it."

Willie Mullins (24 February 2022): "Energumene ran a terrific race in the Clarence House Chase. It was a great day to be racing. That run told us that he isn’t far off where Shishkin is. It will be hard to turn that form around, but we can change things a little bit and hope to turn it around. I haven’t asked Paul who he’s riding yet but I’d be a Chacun Pour Soi fan. I don’t know what way he’s leaning, it’s going to be hard to turn around the Shishkin form with Energumene, so maybe he should play the other card if we can get him there in the order I want to get him there. It will be up to Paul."

Willie Mullins (04 November 2021): "He was a real revelation in novice chases last season and quickly progressed into a very exciting horse. It was a real pity that he missed the big clash with Shishkin in the Arkle Challenge Trophy, but thankfully it was only a small issue and he was able to come back to win impressively at the Punchestown Festival. We are excited to see how he gets on in open company. Like a couple of ours, he’ll have the option of the Tingle Creek, Hilly Way or John Durkan as a starting point in early-December and we’ll make a call on that closer to the time."

Willie Mullins (22 February 2021): "I can’t say I’m looking forward to meeting Shishkin! I hope he gets more of a… I better not mention the word freebie! It’s going to be a great race between them. We always knew he could gallop, but to see him galloping and jumping as he has over fences this season is quite exciting. We’ve never said that he needs to make the running. He tends to go his own gallop and we won’t be hanging back with him anyway."

Willie Mullins (02 February 2021): "He looks a natural chaser and found it easy to drop back to two miles at Naas last time. He jumps so well that it just thought why waste that by going two-and-a-half miles? He very much passed the test at Naas and I think he’ll have to take his chance against even better horses in the Leopardstown Arkle Novice Chase. I’d like plenty of juice in the ground for him, he’s a big unit."
