Nicholls: 'Omens are good' for Buck’s in World Title race

Big Buck’s is in “seriously good order” according to trainer Paul Nicholls as he bids to land the Ladbrokes World Hurdle for a fifth time at Cheltenham on Thursday.

Speaking at a forum after racing at Sandown on Saturday, the former champion trainer disagreed with owner Andy Stewart, who felt the 11-year-old had “fluffed his lines” when beaten by Knockara Beau in the Cleeve Hurdle in January.
