Pistolet Noir joins Paul Nicholls stable

Promising three-year-old hurdler Pistolet Noir has joined the Paul Nicholls stable after being bought privately out of Nick Williams' yard by Andy Stewart and Paul Roy.

The three-year-old looked a decent prospect when he won the Grade Two Prestbury Juvenile Novice's Hurdle at Cheltenham a month ago on his second start over jumps.
