Remember him couple years back being asked about Irish dominance & he just said it’s cyclical
None of the - well it’s up to us to up our game stuff
Skelton & others on the other hand just hungrier & have obviously been upping their game more
Hope Paul sorts things out, but needs complete rethink on recruitment for a start
It's down to his training I think personally, along with poor recruitment.
He just doesn't improve anything that's sent to him. Caldwell Potter and stormy ireland are two that spring to mind but there has been loads. Even sauvignon, he beat Sony bill in france in his last run, who has gone to mullins and run two good races. Sauvignon himself pulls up on debut for nicholls.

He used to be able to ….,just think others are constantly improving ….and he has been left behind with same old ways
His lack of ambition last few years been obvious with attitude to Cheltenham..,,,maybe lost hunger
whatever - won’t be rushing to back many of his in march

Unfortunately you take a risk every time you back one if his for the Festival as he prefers to dodge it got for Aintree. Another recent disappointment is Teeshan. Supposed to be the 2nd coming after his PtoP in Ireland then nothing!!!!

has anything been said about what the story with Teeshan is? I remember Paul saying he had a small issue back in Oct and had to miss Chepstow but havent seen anything since.
Have we ever had a year where there have been no British runners in the Supreme?
Just looking at the market and seeing how abysmal the British lot are. Goes to show, as much as he gets stick on here and social media, how reliant the British are on Nicky Henderson.

Very true! As has been said nicholls need someone buying better horses for him because it just ain’t working at the minute. It’s not as if owners haven’t got the pockets to pay, they’re just picking up the wrong sorts, more often than not.
I do hope Dan Skelton keeps pushing on as he seems to be the one that can help push the UK challengers. It’s shite for racing when it’s all pointing over the sea and we all look at WPM first and even Elliott who’s won 1 supreme is that right? That’s before looking at anything over here other than Hendo trained.

More worrying is he’s not going to be around as a trainer for much longer one would think
He Has three, maybe 4 , serious chances of winning this year, and top races as well
Arkle, CH and CC main 3 of course
Triumph as well big possibility
We should celebrate him imo

In the build-up to the Cheltenham Festival, Timeform assess the claims of a leading contender. Sky Bet Supreme favourite Kopek des Bordes is first under the microscope.
