Can British trainers stop another Irish hammering in Prestbury Cup?

Tue, Apr 05, 2022

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.

Nicky Henderson was the only trainer from the United Kingdom to notch more than one crown courtesy of Shishkin in the Arkle Chase and Chantry House in the Browns Advisory Novices’ Chase. As a result of the discrepancy in quality, Ireland is backed in the Cheltenham Festival tips at 1/20 to win the cup for the third year in a row. It is not a surprise as other than Henderson and perhaps a rare victory for Philip Hobbs, Alan King, Dan Skelton and Paul Nicholls it will be curious to see where British yards can pick up victories over their counterparts.
