PAUL Nicholls had some day on Saturday. He may have had 24 runners, but eight of them won. That’s a strike rate of 33% on a hugely competitive Saturday afternoon, and a 45,863/1 accumulator.

Cyrname was brilliant again in the Betfair Ascot Chase, back at Ascot, back over the course and distance over which he had put up one of the most impressive
performances of the season so far in winning a good handicap chase four weeks earlier.
