WITH Willie Mullins set to be crowned champion trainer in Ireland for the 15th time at the conclusion of the Punchestown Festival, his focus is firmly on the home Festival where he has enjoyed an even greater level of success over recent years.

Having brought his Cheltenham Festival tally of winners to 78 as he left Prestbury Park with the leading trainer title, he reports his team still in top order for the Kildare finale where he took home six of the Grade 1s in 2019.
