Nicholls dreaming of Newbury glory
Paul Nicholls has expressed a wish to see the heavens open to aid ante-post favourite Five Dream’s chances in the totesport Trophy at Newbury next weekend.
The four-year-old has created a huge impression in winning his last two races against older horses and still appears to be on the upgrade.
The French import has the option of the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle or the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, but first in his sights in the valuable handicap at Newbury next week.
“He’s very well, he came out of his win at Cheltenham last week in good form,” said Nicholls.
“He’s had a quiet week, he’s fresh and well and I just hope it rains during the week and the ground is soft enough for him,” he told Channel 4 Racing.
Five Dream is currently the 5-1 favourite with the sponsors for the totesport Trophy.
