Willie Mullins column: Friday Cheltenham runners

Galopin Des Champs seems fine after his fall in the Turners. He just got his leg caught in the reins afterwards for a brief moment.

He jumped great and galloped great and was very unlucky. We go home with a sound jockey and a sound horse and live to fight another day.

It shows the ins and outs of racing as his owners benefitted from the fall of Goshen in the Triumph Hurdle when winning with Burning Victory.

Allaho won a second Ryanair Chase and was very good – as was Paul on him. I thought it was tough after the first race fall to have to come out and ride him like that and he did a great job.

16:10 Billaway

Has a really good chance. I think the ground here will suit him and the application of cheekpieces the last day turned him around. He has a really good chance in this race.

16:50 Concertista

A mare of the highest quality but a novice and we’re taking a chance running her here. She likes this track, has previous good form here, and if she gets a clear round could be fighting out the finish.

16:50 Elimay

The cheekpieces last time sharpened up her jumping and it took a fair mare to beat here in this last year. Unless there’s something of that calibre in here again, she must have a great chance.

17:30 Adamantly Chosen

Won very comfortably in Thurles last time and has come on for that race and he has a great chance of getting into the money.

17:30 Five O'Clock

Ran well here before and has course form which is a positive and he’ll be fine on the ground too. He has his chance too.
