The Paul Nicholls Thread

[Diamond Geezer]

Did start one of these threads for Nicky Henderson, so although this starts with a link to a pre Festival media day might as well use it as an ongoing thread thereafter, bound to be things to discuss.

Which is sheer utter madness

Not sure I agree.

On past evidence he'll have to give no more than 7lb or so to his nearest rival (maybe less) and he's clearly had his injury problems so as he apparently "couldn't be in better nick" why not try and pick up a 100k+ pot on the way to the Hennessy while he's able to.

Keep him in his box towards a "proper" winter campaign and anything could happen.

Last year's race was run on Heavy ground too, which would suit if it happened again this year.

You can still enjoy the build up to the Arc and Champions Day though...

I'd settle for late August. These three weeks between Goodwood and York are the worst of the sporting year. Still no NFL, and mongs getting excited about the football season starting again.

Harry Findlay has a book out next month-will be interesting to see what he has to say about PN.
