No stopping Nicholls

Paul Nicholls, who created racing history at the last Wincanton meeting by sending out six winners, continued the good work with a short-priced treble at his local track courtesy of Gungadu, Cerium and Kicks For Free.

Though entitled to be disappointed with the way things worked out for Royal Auclair in the big chase on the card, the trainer can look forward with relish to sending his bumper winner Kicks For Free for the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, for which Coral cut the gelding to 6-1.
