Closutton supremo Mullins arrived at Prestbury Park this week with 103 winners to his name, after bringing up a century of winners at last year's Festival.

The most successful trainer in Cheltenham history had two winners on the opening day as favourites Kopek Des Bordes and Lossiemouth prevailed in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle and the Mares' Hurdle respectively.

Lecky Watson was a surprise winner of the Brown Advisory on Wednesday, before Jimmy Du Seuil and Bambino Fever took Mullins onto five winners for the week.

Fact To File produced the most emphatic performance of the week to win the Ryanair Chase on Thursday, while the first four races on Friday, including 100/1 Triumph Hurdle winner Poniros, took Mullins to 10 for the week and 113 Cheltenham winners overall.

His tally of 10 winners was two more than all of the British winners combined as Ireland won the 2025 Prestbury Cup at a canter.
