In this post, we have Cheltenham market movers ahead of the start of action on day 1 of the Festival.
Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports said :
“Unsurprisingly the Irish are piling on Willie Mullins horses, with Mystical Power and Gaelic Warrior well-backed favourites in the opening two races and the State Man/Lossiemouth double looming large later on. So needless to say the danger of a Mullins massacre on day one is really giving us the willies.”
