Champion trainer Paul Nicholls will launch a three pronged attack on the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury, in a bid to win Europe’s richest handicap hurdle for the first time.
Nicholls will be represented by Zarkandar, the ante post favourite, Brampour and Empire Levant in whats certain to be a hot renewal of the big hurdle.
LBP reporter Mike Vince spoke to Nicholls at his stables.
