Mullins going to war with strongest ever team

WHEN Cashmans opened a book on who would be the leading Irish trainer at Cheltenham, it was no surprise they installed Willie Mullins as the odds-on favourite.

Nine times Mullins has tasted Festival success, including a remarkable five wins in the Weatherbys Champion Bumper.

Next week the Co Carlow trainer is set to go to war with, arguably, his strongest team ever, headed by Missed That, Mister Hight and Our Ben and a shoal of challengers for the said Bumper.
