A former three-day eventer, Harrington has made a big impression in Ireland in her career as a trainer. And the plundering of several top British races extended her sphere of fame has across the Irish Sea.
Harrington has won four races at the Festival before 2004, the first coming in 1999's Grand Annual when Space Trucker took victory in the sport's oldest chase.
Two more victories came courtesy of Moscow Flyer, who followed up the 2002 Arkle with the Queen Mother Champion Chase in 2003.
Since finishing second at Gowran Park in April 2001, the 10-year-old won every race he completed, giving him 13 wins from 18 races.
But he unseated jockey Barry Geraghty when attempting to retain his Champion Chase crown in 2004.
Harrington's other Festival star in 2003 was Spirit Leader, who followed wins in the William Hill Handicap Hurdle and the Tote Gold Trophy with Cheltenham success in the County Hurdle.
