Paul Nicholls delighted as Stage Star makes striking impression on chasing debut

Paul Nicholls is delighted with Stage Star's debut at Warwick.

Paul Nicholls delighted as Stage Star makes striking impression on chasing debut on Tuesday: Warwick. Last season's Challow Hurdle winner made a flawless start over fences in the 2m4f novice chase, jumping assuredly and sprinting 13 lengths clear of last year's Greatwood winner West Cork. Nicholl's horses Bravemansgame and Interne De Sivola had grade four ulcers at the end of the last season. He is eyeing a return to Newbury for the Grade 2 John Francome Novices' Chase on November 26.

LIZZIE KELLY: Bravemansgame can land 13th King George for trainer Paul Nicholls

Some fantastic horses have won the jewel of…
