Nicholls has top Peterborough team

TWIST MAGIC and The Nightingale feature among a strong entry for champion trainer Paul Nicholls in the totesport.com Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon on Thursday.

Twist Magic had been due to bid for a third victory in the Tingle Creek Chase on Saturday but now has Huntingdon’s feature event as an alternative after Sandown’s abandonment meant that race will be switched to Cheltenham next weekend.

The Nightingale was among the possibles for Sunday’s John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown but with that meeting also falling by the wayside due to the cold snap, he too now has the Peterborough as an option.
