Cheltenham Festival preview: Patrick Mullins answers the big questions


Our ambassador answers the key questions posed by Sporting Life readers.

How good do you think Kopek Des Bordes is?

We think he’s the real deal. I know he’s only had the one run over fences but we set up two pretty strenuous schooling races. It’s going to be hard. Kargese will be setting a searching gallop and Lulamba is going to be coming home strongly too but we think Kopek can do it.

How do you think Lossiemouth will run in the Champion Hurdle?

I think Brighterdaysahead is probably the better two-mile hurdler but we’re hoping this course might change the dynamic. We’re hoping we’re a better mare here and that Brighterdaysahead might not be at her best here. We’re hoping that might swing it in our favour.
