Willie Mullins looks set for another profitable week - days after clinching the UK trainer's title for the second successive week.
In his weekly column for SunSport,
He hailed: "So, Willie Mullins did it.

The weather around the midlands looks set to cooperate with punters all week
"Since Saturday many have questioned why the jockeys' championship is decided on wins, and the trainers' championship on prize money.
"Some believe it's wrong that Mullins can just pop in and take the big prizes, but, over the course of the season, win fewer races than in this case his arch rival Dan Skelton.

"But there should be no meddling with the current status quo. It's all very logical when you think about it.
"A jockey's job is to win. That's it. They should go out trying to land every race that they ride in.
"The role of a trainer is different. A trainers' job is to try to gain as much prize money for their owner as they can."
He later added: "If anyone doesn't think that Willie Mullins is not the outstanding handler then they are in cloud cuckooland. He is.

"And he's the best in Ireland. And he's the best in Great Britain. Everyone else just needs to upgrade to be better than Mullins."

Templegate's Tote Placepot tips with £250,000 guaranteed on day two of York Ebor Festival
Scroll down for the selections POT PICKERS Templegate's Tote Placepot tips with £250,000 guaranteed on day two of York Ebor Festival TEMPLEGATE'S Tote placepot picks for day two of York are below. Don't forget, you can bet £10 and receive £50 in free bets to use on horse racing with Tote. LEG 1 Royal Fixation, Staya 1 Minnie Hauk will be a short price but looks a good thing on day two of the Ebor Festival Credit: PA Advertisement ROYAL FIXATION can swoop late to land the Lowther. She surged home for second in the Duchess of Cambridge at Newmarket on just her second start, clocking a smart speed figure and shaping like a filly with loads more to come. STAYA also caught the eye finishing fast in a strong Group 3 at Ascot and will be running on late. LEG 2 Golden Brown, Song Of The Clyde Advertisement GOLDEN BROWN was really unlucky in a hot contest at Godowood last time. He was knocked sideways inside the final quarter-mile before keeping on. He's unexposed, back on quicker ground and this stronger pace should suit. SONG OF THE CLYDE is progressive and has place claims in what looks an open race. LEG 3 Remmooz, Bullet Point Advertisement REMMOOZ looked a Group horse in the making when winning on handicap debut over course and distance last time. He saw off a few of today's rivals with a bit left in the tank. Owen Burrows will conjure more improvement from him even from a mark of 102. BULLET POINT is in peak form and rarely runs a bad race. He was narrowly denied in a red-hot contest at Ascot last time and will likely force the pace again from a low draw. Advertisement LEG 4 Minnie Hauk MINNIE HAUK is the clear standout in this small but classy renewal of the Yorkshire Oaks. Unbeaten this season and already a dual Oaks winner, she's been dominant over this trip and shaped as though there was plenty in the tank when grinding out victory in the Irish Oaks last month. LEG 5 Rainbows Edge, Charlotte's Web RAINBOWS EDGE has gone close a couple of times at Listed level and this is a great winning chance. Advertisement She took a fast-ground handicap over a mile at Ascot in May and proved that was no fluke when denied only a neck over 1m2f in a stronger race than this here last month. CHARLOTTE'S WEB was right behind the Royal runner last time and will be in the mix again. LEG 6 Stellar Sunrise, Amazing Journey STELLAR SUNRISE took a big step forward when winning at Goodwood last time and starts handicapping from a fair mark. AMAZING JOURNEY scored here two starts ago and was really unlucky not to finish closer than fifth at Goodwood latest.

What time and TV channel is Celtic v Kairat Almaty on today?
Celtic are back in the Champions League this evening as they take on Kazakhstani outfit Kairat Almaty. Brendan Rodgers will be hoping for a straightforward night in Glasgow, but the Champions League usually doesn't offer up 'straightforward'. Celtic have a mixed history with this stage of the competition, and a first-leg victory seems like a must-win given the lengthy travel to Kazakhstan for the second game. Here is everything you need to know about the game. Where is the game on? The game takes place at Celtic Park in Glasgow. What time is kick-off? The game kicks off at 8 pm. What TV channel is it on and can I stream it? RTE Two will show the game live and it can be streamed on the RTE Player. TNT Sports 1 will have live coverage of the game and it can be streamed through their app or NOW TV. Premier Sports 1 will also show the game live. Quotes Corner Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is confident his squad is strong enough to qualify for the Champions League – but he knows they would need to strengthen if they got there. Rodgers was then asked if he would get the additions he was looking for when the board discover whether they have Champions League income. 'I don't know,' he said. 'I don't know. We just play the game and we'll see where we're at at the end of the window.' The 52-year-old has been keen to play down transfer talk in recent weeks after making his feelings clear earlier in the summer. 'I'm not going to get into a situation where I look frustrated or am frustrated because that transfers on to the players that I have, and those guys have been brilliant. 'If we get somebody in, great. If not, then we'll go with what we've got. We'll do everything we can to try and ensure all the details are right for the game and see if we can take Celtic back into the Champions League again. 'I've had no injuries and I believe that the quality of our game and the intensity that we want to work at can hopefully be enough to see us through. But these games will always be tough games.' Betting Odds Celtic 1/12 Draw 15/2 Kairat 14/1

DISTINCTION (4.30 Kempton, treble) Was a game winner at Beverley last time and goes well on the all-weather. Billy Loughnane is a good booking and a 3lb rise looks more than fair.
