Willie Mullins was crowned leading trainer at the 2023 Cheltenham festival. It was his tenth time to take the award. Willie has trained 94 winners at the festival to date, and looks very likely to bring his total to over a century of winners next week. With 65 winners in the last decade, the Mullins domination shows no sign of abating, and it will be the shock of the season if he is not crowned leading trainer at next week’s festival. At a recent Cheltenham preview night, his stable jockey, Paul Townend, was asked for his “charity” bet of the week. His response gave a clear indication of the horses he views as banker material; not content with giving a single answer to the question, Paul suggested a treble comprising Lossiemouth, El Fabiolo and Galopin Des Champs. All three look bomb proof, but, as every punter knows, one of the three often lets you down.

Ireland stormed to the Prestbury Cup at Cheltenham Festival last season, dominating their British counterparts with relative ease over the course of the week. The 23-5 scoreline in favour of the Irish was the most one-sided result in the history of the competition between the two countries since it began in 2014. Willie Mullins and Henry de Bromhead played a significant role in Ireland’s success, combining 12 victories between them, while Denise Foster and Gavin Cromwell also notched multiple wins during the week.
