Willie Mullins dominates with a massive 80 entries as latest Cheltenham Festival line-ups revealed
WILLIE MULLINS has dominated his rivals with a massive 80 entries as the latest potential line-ups for the Cheltenham Festival were revealed.
The runners looking to claim some of racing’s top jumps prizes were revealed on Tuesday – and Mullins flexed some of his awesome firepower.
There were no big surprises – and it quickly turned into another guessing game for punters with Mullins doubly-declaring a number of his runners.
One of those was current Supreme Novices’ Hurdle favourite Mystical Power.
He was entered for the opening Festival race, for which he is a best-price 4-1, as well as the 2m5f Baring Bingham, formerly the Ballymore.
There was flip-flopping the other way too, with Baring Bingham fav Ballymore entered there as well as the Supreme.
Entries for the Albert Bartlett and Triumph Hurdle were also made.
Mullins had 80 across the four races, with 23 in the Supreme, 29 in the Ballymore, 16 in the Albert Bartlett and 12 in the Triumph.
Mullins also has the two market leaders in the Albert Bartlett courtesy of recent scorers High Class Hero and Readin Tommy Wrong.
While British hopeful Burdett Road, trained by Newmarket’s James Owen, is safely in the Triumph, where he is 4-1 market leader.
