    But .... I think Nicholls wants and needs Cheltenham winners more than anyone - he's just not getting them so being smart he's making hay elsewhere

    Love Nicholls
    Absolutely it’s just he has a very clear stack rank of races and senior chases will always be at the top for him. I’m not sure he even cares that much about the champion hurdle. The one time he won it he let his assistant train the horse.

    more seriously of course he’d love to win it but he doesn’t set up his operation with that race in mind whereas it would be at the forefront of Willie and hendos minds.

      He's certainly getting better horses in lately to get them, some very nice prospects. Especially next season with him getting the best p2per I've seen in a while in teeshan

      • The Bahrain trophy tomorrow

        Nations pride looks a cut above these

        He's plenty better than Israr and Point Lonsdale

        Granted a clear run it's hard to see him beat, this will have been the target for a while as they missed the breeders cup turf because he's better at 1m2f

        • Intense Approach evens at the moment.

          Main market rivals are Iceberg Theory (116 RPR last time in hurdles and a 99RPR in bumpers) and Sportinthepark (beat by Butcher Hollow in a bumper recently and beaten by a decent Robcour horse in his PTP).

          Intense Approach has been mentioned elsewhere and got a 121 RPR in his latest bumper. Good PTP winner and the step up in trip will be to his liking. I thought he'd open shorter than evens.

              His record over 1m2f is

              1112111

              Group 1 horse in a group 2

              As long as buick gets a good sit from his wide draw he has to go close

                I backed him at 2/1

                So I hope you're right

                  No chance unfortunately once he was taken to the front in such a strongly run race

                  My slip went in the bin after 2 furlongs

                  Was hoping buick would tuck in mid pack but not to be

                    That was dreadful.

                      Any word is the horse is ok?

                      Can't believe the jockey went for another hurdle, absolute madness

                        No idea. No idea what the jockey was doing. I'm sure McConnell had a few words for him after

                          His horses are running dreadful. Both have emptied today. Was going to back Sharp Object in the Bumper tomorrow but not now. I'll look for something else.

                            The other was even worse. Fell at the last I think but once the winners had crossed the line! What on earth they were playing at I've no idea.
