This year, Mullins' stable brings a mix of seasoned champions and promising newcomers to one of the most anticipated events in the racing calendar.
As we prepare for this year's Cheltenham Festival, the spotlight turns to the seasoned Irish racehorse trainer, William Mullins, known for his remarkable 17-time triumph as the Irish National Hunt Champion trainer. This year, Mullins' stable brings a mix of seasoned champions and promising newcomers to one of the most anticipated events in the racing calendar. Here's a closer look at the horses representing the Mullins camp.
Tuesday's Line-Up
Asian Master kicks off the festival at 13:30, bringing a blend of surprise and potential. Originally eyed for hunter chasing due to his pedigree favouring longer distances, this 7-year-old has demonstrated commendable agility and speed over the two-mile trip. Asian Master is a testament to adaptability, turning heads with his flawless jumps and stamina. A promising start for Thomas Costello at Cheltenham.
Gold Dancer, another 13:30 contender, carries expectations from France. Although we're still waiting for his breakout performance, the Cheltenham stage could be the catalyst he needs. Despite the odds, there's a quiet hope for an impressive show.
At the same odds and time, Mistergif is the wildcard entry. With just one race under his belt, his potential is untapped, but his debut in Limerick was nothing short of impressive. This 5-year-old could be the dark horse for those looking for an each-way bet.
Mystical Power, donning a hood for the first time, is set to compete at 13:30 as well. After a keen performance in Punchestown, adjustments have been made to harness his speed. In prime condition, he's a top contender.
Supersundae might be eyeing a longer trip, but this 5-year-old is one to watch for future hurdles. With Patrick Mullins in the saddle, expectations are set for a noteworthy performance.
Tullyhill, with Paul Townend choosing to ride, heads to the race with high hopes. After refining his jumping skills, this 6-year-old appears to be a strong contender for the top spot.
Gaelic Warrior gears up for the 14:10 race with a new strategy. Following a disappointing run, a hood has been added to calm and focus him, enhancing his chances significantly.
Hunters Yarn and Il Etait Temps, both set for 14:10, are notable for their consistent performance and potential for each-way value, respectively.
Meetingofthewaters is eyeing the Randox Grand National but has a promising chance in the 14:50 race at Cheltenham, marking him as a contender to watch.
State Man and Zarak The Brave are set to impress in the 15:30 slot, with State Man being a favourite for the Champion Hurdle in light of recent developments.
