BEST of the BETS

This must go to No Drama This End trained by Paul Nicholls.

This horse looks like it might be decent and from watching the interview with Paul Nicholls and his Jockey Harry Cobden clearly they have high expectations for his future.

To keep a rain soaked Paul Nicholls in winners enclosure talking about how good he thinks this horse could be say's something.

Purchased at the Cheltenham sales in March 2024 for a £160k price tag, which is not seen has huge anymore but is still a lot to pay for a newbie to the NH scene.

He has progressed well, only blimp came in the Cheltenham Bumper this year when 9th of 17 but this is nothing to be ashamed off, given this race attracts a lots of decent well bred horses.

Something to note that the second horse that day Head's Up he has just beaten very well at Cheltenham on Friday.

Clearly very progressive and the target I believe is the Challow Hurdle on 29th December at Newbury.

If all goes well then I suspect Cheltenham will be pinned on the Calendar in March 2026 and I am sure whatever they aim this horse at he will be fancied.

Longer term and the plan looks to be the bigger obstacles and who is to say where he could finish up but one thing is for certain, they will be looking after the horse without doing any silly over racing, so the future looks bright.

Please god he say's fit well and sound and we could have another Paul Nicholls star coming our way.

Has been a while.
