Henderson plays down his chances of championship success

Nicky Henderson, who is a top-priced 10-1 with BoyleSports and Betfred to capture a fourth trainers' title, rates Irish behemoth Willie Mullins as the one to beat.

Mullins came close to winning his first British championship last year, but was denied on the line by Paul Nicholls, who is the bookmakers' favourite to win an 11th crown.

Nicholls is 5-6 with Coral, but Mullins, generally 11-8, has an enviable array of firepower according to Henderson.
