Nick Should Be The Name On All Punters Champion Chase Portfolio 05/02/07
Nickname once again enhanced his Cheltenham credentials with another impressive display at Punchestown. Martin Brassil’s eight-year-old was simply too good for his rivals, eventually coming home seven lengths clear of Central House. William Hill reacted by cutting Nickname to 6-1 from 10 for the Seasons Holidays Queen Mother Champion Chase.
Hills spokesman Ben Clarke added: “Although Newmill fell and the
descending mist makes it hard to fully assess the race you can only be
impressed with Nicknames performance and his recent form. His participation
at Cheltenham will very much depend on the ground but if it was to come
up soft on the Wednesday I can’t see many horses in Queen Mother
being capable of beating him.”
