Superstar Willie Mullins horse ‘he’s loved from day one’ slashed in Cheltenham Festival odds after defeat
Share:
A SUPERSTAR Willie Mullins horse the trainer 'has loved from day one' has been slashed in the Cheltenham Festival markets - after losing last time out. The Closutton boss had an up-and-down Christmas, with some big names disappointing. Lossiemouth was firmly put in her place by Constitution Hill, while State Man couldn't get near an awesome Brighterdaysahead.

Galopin Des Champs flying home in the Savills Chase was one bright spot. The defending Gold Cup champion was unstoppable over three miles at Leopardstown, reversing John Durkan form with JP McManus' Fact To File. The green-and-gold-hooped runner was far from discredited in second but appeared to lack Galopin Des Champs' gears over three miles.
Fact To File was awesome over 2m4f in the John Durkan at Punchestown. And punters think that intermediate trip could prove his calling at Cheltenham. Fact To File is still a general 4-1 second-fav for the Gold Cup but has been cut to 4-1 favourite from 6-1 for the Ryanair with Coral.
