"Dan Skelton's narrow lead in the National Hunt trainers' championship remains, but with a busy Easter weekend ahead, the title race is intensifying between him and Willie Mullins."
"Mullins is a strong favorite to retain the championship title, yet Skelton's chances increase as he has 10 runners scheduled versus Mullins' absence."
Dan Skelton managed to retain his slim lead in the National Hunt trainers' championship after a single victory at Cheltenham's final card. This victory came at a crucial time as the competition enters the final week, with Easter weekend promising numerous races. While defending champion Willie Mullins, a historical figure in the sport, has a strong track record including matching his own record at Cheltenham, he faces pressure with Skelton's increasing presence. Skelton's strategic entries may boost his chances as Mullins prepares for a less active betting weekend, setting up a dramatic conclusion to the season.
