Nicholls set for double

COMANCHE WAR PAINT can prove the highlight of an across-the-card double for trainer Paul Nicholls when he lines up for the Tote Devon National at Exeter today.

The seven-year-old has been a really consistent performer this season, notching a couple of victories early in the campaign at Worcester and Wincanton.

Comanche War Paint has also run good races in defeat, particularly when a neck second to Indian Chance on St Stephen’s Day, when he was just pipped on the run-in.
