How good is it to see Paul Nicholls back with proper Grade 1 horses again? Owners must love him, even in those quiet few years he had he kept picking up big Saturday prize money just by actually running his horses often

A £10 level stake across all his handicap runners from 2008-2018 would leave you down -£435
44 rides for Nicky Henderson. 1 win. 2 places.
25/66 have PU, F or lost as favourite.
8/66 top 4 finishes
13th or worse 37/66 times
Never finished in the top 5 in the County Hurdle, Brown Advisory or Fred Winter
Never run in the XC
66% of his rides for Nicky Henderson but 75% of his winners with other trainers (P F Nicholls, N P Mulholland, T J Taaffe)
Conclusion
Going through Barry’s numbers makes me realise just how phenomenal Davy Russell’s handicap performance is.
BG is 13th or worse 37/66 times, 25/66 have PU, F or lost as favourite - doesn't make for great reading.
He went through a truly baron spell for Nicky from 2011 - 2015, where he came 2nd in 2/30 rides, and then no better than 5th in the other 28.
Matt Chapman's response (link below) to someone questioning how Barry handles Cheltenham is superb and on point. BG is a top jockey, of that there is no doubt. That being said, the numbers presented here wouldn't blow you away.
As I have said with some of the others, when you look at the success Barry has had in graded races at Cheltenham I doubt he gives two hoots about his handicap performance, nor should he, but as punters it is just something to be mindful of.
