Who can stop Willie Mullins? As concerns over his 'dominance' rise, bookies say three Festival chases are his to lose

Willie Mullins enjoyed another sensational Christmas period. He picked up his annual cheque at Tramore on New Year's Day. Quais De Paris made fools of his rivals.

Willie Mullins has been Cheltenham's top trainer nine times. His horses are favourites for the Gold Cup, Champion Chase and Ryanair Chase at the Festival. Alice Plunkett thinks he's too dominant. The festival starts on March 11th. It's 11 weeks before the big chases. Tony Bloom's Energumene is 4-6 to defend his Champion Chase crown, Allaho is 13-8 to return from injury with a third consecutive Ryanir Chase, Galopin Des Champs is 7-4 for Friday's blockbuster Gold cup, and Allaho is Coral’s 13/8 market leader for Ryanairs.
