Willie Mullins arrived at the 2021 Cheltenham Festival as the most successful trainer in the meeting’s history, having saddled 72 winners, and it didn’t take him long to add to that tally.
Appreciate It destroyed the opposition in the opening race of the week – the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle – while two more victories for Monkfish and Sir Gerhard followed on Tuesday.

There was also a stunning win for Allaho in the Ryanair Chase but it’s a case of ‘what might have been’ for the Closutton conjuror after Sharjah, Concertista, Saint Sam and Gaillard Du Mesnil all finished second and Chacun Pour Soi came home third in the Champion Chase.
Al Boum Photo also failed to write his name in the history books with a third consecutive Gold Cup, instead coming home third behind Minella Indo and A Plus Tard, but victories for Colreevy and Galopin Des Champs in the final two races of the meeting ensured Mullins won his eighth leading trainer trophy – beating Henry de Bromhead on count-back.
