Willie Mullins admits he has one hand on the British champion trainer's title
Willie Mullins took a huge step towards being crowned champion trainer in Britain with a four-timer at Ayr, which included the Scottish Grand National , but the handler insists he will be taking nothing for granted in the jump trainers’ title race.
Tommy’s Oscar gave everyone an early reminder that it was not all about just the big three trainers when kicking off proceedings with his 12th career victory in the Scotty Brand Handicap Chase for Ann Hamilton. “Coming back to a handicap, he just found travelling much easier than the pace of Grade One races, so it probably felt like a bit of work for him at home just going at that pace, so that was a big help to get him home.
Skelton must have had high hopes of hitting the target with Coco Mademoiselle when she surged ahead between the final two flights in the Jordan Electrics Ltd Seafield Trophy Mares’ Handicap Hurdle.
