Paul Nicholls is heading to this year's Cheltenham Festival with a streamlined squad that looks strongest in the novice chase department, with Ginny's Destiny and Stay Away Fay holding leading claims in their respective races.
Britain's champion trainer might only send a dozen horses into battle against the Irish juggernauts of Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott, but Ginny's Destiny currently heads the ante-post markets for the Turners Novices' Chase and Stay Away Fay is prominent in the betting for the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase.
