National Hunt Trainers' Championship Odds
Following a sensational week at Aintree, Willie Mullins has thrown down the gauntlet in the British jumps trainers' title race.
His domination included a clean sweep of the Grand National podium - headed by Nick Rockett under his son Patrick - and five Grade 1 victories, bagging a cool £860,000 in the process.
That performance cut Dan Skelton's lead to just over £122,000, despite Skelton also enjoying a strong Aintree haul.
With momentum on his side, Mullins now turns his focus to Ayr, where he's unleashing a 40-strong squad for the Scottish Grand National Festival.
Chosen Witness leads his entries in the £200,000 feature race, while others are spread across the £100,000 Scottish Champion Hurdle and more.
Following his Grand National success on Saturday, Patrick Mullins summed up the team's ambition with a simple line: "Load up the lorry for Ayr."
| Trainer | Betting Odds |
| Willie Mullins | 1/4 |
| Dan Skelton | 5/2 |
That statement now looks like a mission as the Closutton yard eyes up every opportunity to snatch more prize money and seal back-to-back titles.
And it doesn't stop at Ayr - Team Mullins have their sights set firmly on the £685,000 on offer at the season finale at Sandown on April 26.
Minella Cocooner landed the bet365 Gold Cup last season to seal the title, and victory in the race this year for a Mullins' trained runner could be the final piece of the puzzle.
