Wednesday is a big day for Betfair ambassador Paul Nicholls. Check out his thoughts on the full Cheltenham team.
He continues to please at home and did a sparkling piece of work at Wincanton last week. The Coral looked the obvious target after he didn’t stay three miles in the Cleeve Hurdle at this track at the end of January. This shorter trip is perfect for McFabulous who worked beautifully on an away day at Wincanton recently. Long term he looks an ideal candidate for the Coral Welsh National. He was going over fences this season but an accident in the autumn meant that he couldn’t run until Christmas so he is staying over hurdles for the time being. I’m hopeful that he can be competitive off a handicap mark of 150.This is the last season for Politologue who is a legend and has been a pleasure to train over the years. He has won all his three races this season and has looked better each time. He has been superb this season, winning four out of four over fences and his jumping has been electric from day one.
