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.
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.
