However, the very-much in-form Willie Mullins appears to be manoeuvring into a favourable position, and has an arguable slam-dunk already in the form of Quevega. At 13-2, he could just be the valuable alternative away from the duelling duo.’ Cheltenham Festival Thomas Pink Leading Trainer Award: 11-8 Paul Nicholls, 15-8 Nicky Henderson, 13-2 Willie Mullins, 14-1 Nigel Twiston-Davies, Philip Hobbs, 16-1 Alan King, David Pipe, 33-1 Donald McCain, 40-1 Ferdy Murphy, Jonjo O'Neill (win only - market will be settled on the number of winners, if there is a tie the greater number of second places will determine the winner, again if there is a tie the greatest number of third places will determine the winner – excludes Derby Charity Race) Read our William Hill review Get your £25 free bet at William Hill now Like Like Post to wall 272 Reads All Cheltenham Festival News Recent Cheltenham Festival Articles Cheltenham Festival 2014 dates22 Mar 2012The dates for the 2014 Cheltenham Festival have been announced and the full schedule is now availab Cheltenham Festival 2013 dates22 Mar 2012The dates for the 2013 Cheltenham Festival have been announced and the full schedule is now availab Nicky Henderson stable lad wins £1 million on Cheltenham Festival accumulator21 Mar 2012Bet365 were left paying out over £1 million after the stable hand for Finian’s Rainbow won a £50 ac Paul Nicholls - a tough Cheltenham Festival but family comes first19 Mar 2012Paul Nicholls is famous for his dedication to racing excellence but nothing comes before the health Nicky Henderson odds-on for National Hunt Trainers' Championship after Cheltenham success17 Mar 2012Nick Henderson had seven winners at the 2012 Cheltenham Festival and that has seen him move ahead o Dates for your Diary - Cheltenham 2013!17 Mar 2012The 2013 Cheltenham Festival dates have been revealed More Stories Recent Articles Sweden hot favourites for Eurovision Song Contest 201224 May 2012Sweden are hot favourites for Saturday's Eurovision Song Contest after tonight's second semi-final Euro 2012 Group D Betting - Sweden24 May 2012Sweden enter Euro 2012 Group D as underdogs in the battle to secure a berth in the knockout stage.
