Patrick Mullins, representing Willie Mullins, said: “To win the Gold Cup and the Champion Chase they are half of the major races so that was fantastic. Galopin Des Champs winning the Gold Cup though really was the cherry on the top. Six winners is probably where we need to be hitting at least. The amount of horses we have and the standard we have we needed to do everything we did this week.
“Last year was just one of those years after Covid and everything and we were never going to match that total of 10. Taking the Gold Cup and Champion Chase while El Fabiolo (Arkle) and Impaire Et Passe (Ballymore) look like they could be anything so we were very pleased to see them win as well. Gallopin Des Champs really was the big one and thankfully he delivered.”

J P McManus said: “We finished strong which was great. You never know how you are going to get on as it is very competitive here. You are hoping to get a winner or two and it was nice to get off the board on Wednesday night. The Stayers’ Hurdle was a lovely race to win and to finish off with the Martin Pipe was great and we topped it off winning the Mares’ Chase. It has been wonderful. Any time you get a winner they are really precious and they were all very special in fairness.”
