Willie Mullins has opening day to remember – as nephew wins race named in honour of mother Maureen

Already this year, the Prestbury Cup, the annual face-off between British and Irish trainers across the Cheltenham Festival, looks like a non-event. After the first day, the score stands 6-1 to Ireland. Though frankly, even if the Cup was restricted to Great Britain against the County Carlow trainer Willie Mullins, it would still be a formality. Mullins would simply walk it.
