whats nicholls main triumph hope ?

Empire Levant supposedly but id be surprised if it was better

A quintet of horses have got Paul particularly excited at the beginning of the season...



Rangitoto
Impressive winner of his only point to point in Ireland. Is one of a number from this sphere who are at the same stage Denman was five years ago. Will start off in novice hurdles in November, possibly over 2m4f.

Empire Levant
A big strong grey who won three races on the Flat in France in the spring. Loves jumping and may start off over hurdles at the Hennessy meeting.

Domtaline
Had one run over hurdles in France, when third in a race at Auteuil that historically throws up a lot of winners. Could be out this month.

San Remo Bello
Won his only start over hurdles in France. An obvious future chaser, but he will kept over hurdles this season, and will be ready to run in October/November.

Silviniaco Conti
By Dom Alco, sire of Neptune Collonges. Won both his hurdles in France. May have won more run over hurdles before going chasing. Exciting horse who will make a great chaser one day.

Just watched de winner of Sam Winners race again, mighty impressive

can sam winner seriously be a top class horse just look how many times he was beaten in france he never even won a race over there.i agree he should be favourite but id be very very surprised on good ground weather he,ll win the truimph

i went indepth with his form and the horses he was running against then went on to compete in grade 1 hurdle races over there, sam winners french form is good.

Looking forward to seeing how Zarkandar goes.
