Only Caldwell Potter interests me from his stable and that isn't a strong view. He just doesn't have the ammo any more and it's difficult to see where the next investment comes from. It's not like everyone is deserting him for all the younger trainers. Nicky still gets plenty from all over the place. It's a shame but it is what it is. Who was the owner he had a big bust up with about 5 years ago? It seems to have gradually gone downhill since then.

Nothing would interest me for the festival but he can still ready one thats being targeted at a big Saturday handicap. Quebecois for the Paddy Power is very interesting. 2 good runs over fences at Cheltenham last season in the notoriously strong novices handicap on trials day and then in the Ultima at the festival, getting outstayed up the run in.

Nice pipe opener where he looked like winning on the bridle until he blew up approaching the last. Nicholls had said a few weeks ago he was looking to give him a run before heading for the Paddy Power.

Currently 20/1, I doubt he’ll be anything like that on the day.

I had Quebecois down as a 2 and a half miler, may have backed him antepost for one of the middle distance handicaps for the festival, only to see he stepped up in trip

I didn’t want to look at the PPGC this early, but I have it written down in big bold writing “the owners do like a winner at Cheltenham”. Good shout

….get the feeling No Drama This End is his flagship.

I’d agree, he was pushed out to 33’s (BANC) at the end of last season following his slightly laboured win over Skelton’s horse at Perth. Noticed Dan gave Tormund Giantsbane a good write up in his stable tour. Be interesting to see if that race proves better than may have initially been thought.
