PAUL NICHOLLS has something up in his sleeve

Jackpot bet online, a site with the latest news related to sports and similar activities finds out something more about the Cheltenham races that are going to be held in few weeks, and something about the legend Paul and his tricks. PAUL NICHOLLS is a trainer synonymous with the Cheltenham Festival. His 37 winners at the meeting so far include at least one victory in each of the four championship races - Champion Hurdle, Champion Chase, World Hurdle and Gold Cup - and he has tasted success at jump racing's premier fixture at least once at every festival since 2003.

But while such heavyweights as Denman, Master Minded and Kauto Star have registered knockout festival performances for Nicholls in the past, the reigning champion trainer enters this year's showpiece without the comfort of a headline star to lead his team into battle. Entering March, Nicholls has 84 winners on the board and is leading the British trainers' championship but, by his exacting standards, he endured a very quiet December, with only nine winners from 92 runners, while January yielded seven winners from 44 runners.
