The Cheltenham Festival 20-1 banker acca made up entirely of Willie Mullins favourites
LOOK let’s get things straight – Willie Mullins is going to have winners, and a lot of them, at Cheltenham this week.
Taken on their own, it can look unappealing backing odds-on shots.

But with a little planning and patience you can make it pay over the course of the four days.

Here, Sun Racing looks at the five-fold made up entirely of his most fancied favourites that pays a very decent 20-1 with Sky Bet.
Day one
3.30 State Man
Runner-up to Constitution Hill last year, he doesn’t have Nicky Henderson’s stable star to worry about this time round.
Has repeatedly confirmed himself as the best two-mile hurdler next to Constitution Hill and merely has to run to his normal standard to win this.
4.10 Lossiemouth
Forget any doubts about this horse stepping up two furlongs to 2m4f.
She is a monster.
She was powering away at the line on Trials Day, won the Triumph last year and will be one hell of a bet for next year’s Champion Hurdle.
Day two
1.30 Ballyburn
At one stage he was the favourite for the Supreme and Gallagher (formerly the Ballymore).
Money for him on the Exchange finally came for this race and it looks a smart move.
Won the key trial for this in Ireland and nothing else has come close.
2.10 Fact To File
Runner-up in last year’s Champion Bumper, turned over at shorts on chase debut but awesome at Leopardstown over Christmas.
Saw off an out of sorts Gaelic Warrior when last seen but should have too much for his rivals.
3.30 El Fabiolo
The rest are running for the places here.
El Fabiolo accounted for his nearest market rival Jonbon with ease last season and that horse looks worse now.
Expect him to make it four from four for the Mullins shorties.
Day four
3.30 Galopin Des Champs
We need something to boost the price and I cannot believe Galopin Des Champs is odds against.
Yes Fastorslow has beaten him twice but there were excuses there.
Galopin Des Champs is the supreme stayer of his age and there shouldn’t be any worry about him flopping following his awesome run last time out.
You can back the five-fold banker acca at 20-1 with Sky Bet.
