Our eager beaver traders have knocked up a top trainer betting market as part of the Cheltenham Festival odds on the Paddy Power website and app.
It’s a battle that has been utterly dominated by Closutton king Willie Mullins as last season’s nine winners helped him bag the title for the sixth year in a row and 11th time in his illustrious career.
A squad that includes Galopin Des Champs, Kopek Des Bordes and Majborough means Mullins is, yet again, the one to beat, but he is likely to face challenges from all angles.
Nicky Henderson could banish last year’s painful Cheltenham Festival memories as Constitution Hill, Jonbon and Lulamba spearhead his team, while fellow Brit Dan Skelton will aim to build on his four victories in 2024.
Gordon Elliott boasts a decent group for his latest raid on Gloucestershire, Henry de Bromhead’s gang are hitting form at just the right time and Gavin Cromwell will be eager to continue his fine season on the biggest stage of them all.
One thing can be certain… it promises to be a tense tussle for the top trainer title.
