Willie Mullins Cheltenham entries to watch out for
After discussing which horses Mullins has competing for each event, you should be aware of who his strongest contenders appear to be. Here’s a rundown of which entries look most likely to win:
Gaelic Warrior (Gold Cup) – Having only finished outside the top three once in the 20 races he’s completed, Gaelic Warrior shouldn’t be underestimated. With previous Cheltenham winning experience in 2024 as well, he’s got a fantastic opportunity to taste victory here.
Fact To File (Ryanair Chase) – Winning the Irish Gold Cup in dominant fashion, Fact To File really showed the quality he has to offer. With a win at the Cheltenhm Festival under his belt already, he’ll be hungry for more.
