Mullins set to dominate Cheltenham

Thu, Mar 06, 2025

Willie Mullins was crowned leading trainer at the 2024 Cheltenham festival. It was his eleventh time to take the award. Willie has trained 103 winners at the festival to date, and looks very likely to bring his total to well over 110 winners next week. On the cusp of a dozen leading trainer at the festival titles, 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. I expect he will have eight or nine winners. Dan Skelton had a very successful 2024 festival with four winners, and while I do not expect he will match that figure, he should have a couple of winners as he closes in on his first UK trainer’s title. The Nicky Henderson stable was under a cloud at the 2024 festival, but everything seems to be on track for a successful festival this year, and he could pip Gordon Elliott to the runner up spot in the leading trainer competition.
