Paul Nicholls With Three Runners On Cheltenham Day 1

Paul Nicholls has been the top trainer on six previous occasions at the Cheltenham Festival. The British trainer has won ‘top trainer’ six times, firstly in 1999 before winning it four years on the spin from 2006-2009. The 60-year-old racing trainer will be hoping to replicate this form with a stellar showing at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival.

Nicholls has 46 winners to his name in the Cheltenham Festival over the years. This of course includes a magnificent four Gold Cup’s, three Ryanair Chases, six Queen Mother Champions Chases and four Stayers’ Hurdles to name but a few.

On Day 1, Paul Nicholls has 3 runners on Tuesday 14th March. These rides include Tahmuras, who goes in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle (1:3opm).

The four-time Gold Cup winner with See More Business, Kauto Star (x2) and  Denman also has three more runners on day one along with Tahmuras on Day 1.

The English trainer has plenty of big chances throughout the Cheltenham Festival with the likes of Hermes Allen in the Ballymore Novice’s Hurdle and, of course, Bravemansgasme in the Gold Cup to name but a few. However, he certainly has a few chances on Day 1 too at Cheltenham this year to get off to a flying start.

Nicholls is also priced at 25/1 as the fifth favourite to be the 2023 Cheltenham Festival Top Trainer.
