The bookies make the Irish odds-on to claim yet another Prestbury Cup, while the bookies have Willie Mullins as the front-runner to win an eighth successive Top Trainer trophy. 

Elsewhere, the Top Jockey battle is a touch closer, but still dominated by Irish names, with Paul Townend, Mark Walsh and Jack Kennedy the clear frontrunners for this year's crown.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: The Brits have well and truly got their work cut out this week, if the latest odds are anything to go by... it looks set to be another festival of complete Irish domination.
