Shark Hanlon: 'Galopin Des Champs didn't impress me at all in the Irish Gold Cup - on that run he's vulnerable'

The sport's top judges answer the key Cheltenham Festival questions. This time, it's popular trainer Shark Hanlon . . .


What's your best bet of the meeting?

Willie Mullins to train ten winners or more. I was at a preview the other night and somebody somehow laid me 3-1. I think that's an unbelievable price. I've never known him to have a better team than the one he has going over this year and I expect him to get to double figures at his leisure. 

What do you make of the Champion Hurdle?

State Man is an absolute certainty. Move on.
