The 2026 Festival in brief
Willie Mullins was leading trainer again with eight winners, and Paul Townend rode the three that mattered most, taking the Champion Hurdle on Lossiemouth, the Champion Chase on Il Etait Temps and the Gold Cup on Gaelic Warrior. Ireland retained the Prestbury Cup by 15 winners to 13.
Punters had a harder week of it than that suggests. Only eight favourites obliged across the four days, and six winners came back at 20/1 or bigger. Martator at 66/1 in the Grand Annual was the biggest of the lot, with Apolon De Charnie landing the Triumph Hurdle at 50/1 and White Noise taking the Mares' Novices' Hurdle at 40/1. Anyone who backed Home By The Lee at 33/1 in the Stayers' Hurdle had the pick of the week.
