Nicholls reaches century milestone

Paul Nicholls reached 100 winners for the season but had luck on his side when Dusty Bandit landed the toteplacepot Amateur Riders’ Handicap Hurdle at Exeter today.

There must be some debate over whether Dusty Bandit and Liam Heard would have beaten Seeador had that rival not fallen when three lengths clear at the second-last flight.
