Which Irish-trained horses fared best and worst in handicap weights reveal?

It may be an unsatisfactory process given Irish-trained challengers are unaware of their overseas rating until making an entry in Britain, but the BHA's current handicapping system always generates plenty of talking points when it comes to Cheltenham Festival weights.

Connections of Irish festival hopes have been bracing themselves over a potential price to pay following last year's 23-5 Prestbury Cup dominance, especially considering visiting runners were already typically rated higher in Britain than on home soil.

However, the full extent of any handicapping changes cannot be judged solely on how Irish-trained contenders have been treated this year given how the British handicapper has adjusted how horses are assessed since last year's festival.
