Sandown on Saturday: Willie Mullins chases first British trainers’ title with confirmed runners and riders.

The battle for the title summit in horse racing is heating up between Dan Skelton and Paul Nicholls as they strive to overtake Mullins. Mullins is determined to maintain his lead, launching an all-out assault on a card with a hefty prize fund of £675,000.

The field includes Edwardstone, Editeur Du Gite, and Boothill, with notable absences such as Arkle winner Gaelic Warrior and Champion Chase winner Captain Guinness. A full field of 20 horses has been declared for the 3m4½f handicap, with Threeunderthrufive and Le Milos as strong contenders, and Weveallbeencaught sneaking in near the bottom.

Mullins is aiming to build on his recent successes in Britain, including winning the Grand National with I Am Maximus and the Scottish Grand National with Macdermott. These wins have propelled him £182,195 ahead of Skelton in the title race.
