Willie Mullins aims for fourth Neptune success with Nichols Canyon
Fiveforthree, Mikael D’Haguenet and Faugheen have all struck gold in the two-mile-five-furlong heat for the Closutton handler and he highly rates the attributes of this year’s challenger, who runs in the colours of Andrea and Graham Wylie.
A Listed winner and Group Three placed on the Flat for John Gosden, Nichols Canyon has won three of his four starts over obstacles this term with his only blot coming when unseating Ruby Walsh in a Leopardstown Grade One at Christmas.
