I am not sure how much of a priority the British Trainers Championship is to Mullins this season. He is still behind Elliot in the Irish Trainers Championship but only by €400,000. He is probably close enough to overhaul him with a good Punchestown.

If Gaelic Warrior was mine, it would be Gold Cup all the way. I wouldn’t have been discouraged by yesterday at all.
Fact To File looks like he will be supplemented but I agree with the school of thought that he could be another Florida Pearl. He might win the Gold Cup – but if he runs in the Ryanair he is as good as a certainty.
