      Willie Mullins Cheltenham Runners Include Dr Eggman and Classic Getaway On Wednesday<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      The quest to retain his British jumps trainers title will see top Irish trainer Willie Mullins send a select team to Prestbury Park’s final meeting of the season this midweek.<\/p>\n

      On the opening day (Wednesday 16th April), the Willie Mullins Cheltenham runners<\/strong> will be four entries. With two each in the Citipost Novices’ Hurdle at 1:30pm and the Silver Trophy Handicap Chase at 2:40pm.<\/p>\n

      Both Toad Hall<\/strong> and Dr Eggman<\/strong> go in the Citipost Novices’ Hurdle and come into the race off the back of wins. So you feel Mullins will have a great chance of adding this \u00a310k first prize to his tally.<\/p>\n

      Dan Skelton doesn’t have a runner in the race.<\/p>\n

      Mullins Trails Skelton By Just Over \u00a38k In The Trainers’ Title Race
      \n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

      Heading into the Cheltenham April Meeting – Mullins trails Skelton by around \u00a38k.<\/p>\n

      So with \u00a339k on offer to the winner of the Silver Trophy Handicap Chase at 2:40pm – this will be the prize Mullins will want as his race with Dan Skelton continues to be a popular sub-plot to the final few weeks of the season. O’Moore Park and Classic Getaway represent Mullins here.<\/p>\n

      This contest will also be shown live on ITV Racing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      O’Moore Park,<\/strong> who was taken out of the Scottish National last week, will get in with only 10-9 to carry.<\/p>\n

      The form of his third to Caldwell Potter in the Jack Richards Novices’ Handicap Chase at the Festival has also been franked by the winner following up at Aintree.<\/p>\n

      Mullins also has Classic Getaway<\/strong> in the race, who will carry top-weight of 11-12 – but heads here in fine fettle after a win in the Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park in February (watch below).<\/p>\n

      Dan Skelton also runs two in the race – Riskintheground and Harper’s Brook.<\/p>\n

      With no Paul Townend, who is still recovering from an arm injury – Danny Mullins<\/strong> and Sean O’Keeffe<\/strong> will be the two Willie Mullins jockeys at Cheltenham this midweek.<\/p>\n

      If Willie Mullins can win both Cheltenham races on Wednesday he’ll bank \u00a350,757.<\/p>\n
