Willie Mullins Sandown Runners Confirmed for Saturday Finale
Craig Jones 
The UK Trainers Championship is set for an exciting conclusion on Saturday and we've got the confirmed Willie Mullins Sandown runners as he sends an army across the Irish Sea to try and land the title.
It's been an exciting few weeks since Aintree, and the horse racing team at Free Bets will be with you all the way until the final race on Saturday.
Mullins, the trainer from Closutton is battling it out with Dan Skelton for the championship, and while Skelton has the advantage in terms of a lead right now, Mullins has far more runners trying to win big prizes on the final day of the season, which could make all the difference.
His number of runners alone make Mullins a strong favourite with UK bookmakers to beat Skelton to the title on Saturday.

A sometimes average card at Sandown has been brought to life by the battle between Mullins and Skelton.
There will be a total of 21 runners heading to Sandown on Saturday, with 10 of those declared in the feature race of the day, the bet365 Gold Cup.
If the unthinkable happens, and it all boils down to the final race of the 2024/25 jumps season, then Mullins will be represented by four runners in the closing 4:45pm.

Willie Mullins Best Sandown Chances
With the key final races all live on ITV, our weekly ITV Racing Tips page will keep you ahead of what our tipsters think for the big contests.
In terms of the Mullins runners themselves, obviously when it comes to numbers, the bet365 Gold Cup is where he's most likely to get a winner, accounting for 10 of the 20 strong field.
Elsewhere, four in the Oaksey Chase (2:25pm) and four in the closing handicap hurdle (4:45pm) also look like being crucial races in the title run in.
But many will be thinking that his best chance of a winner comes in a race where he's entered just one, and that's the Select Hurdle (3:00pm).
He's represented by Kitzbuhel here, who disappointed in Grade One company at Aintree, but before that, looked a very nice type. Current favourite, he could take plenty of beating.
