Paul Nicholls outlines chances this week for Newbury and admits there's 'a bit of obsessing with Cheltenham

Champion trainer Paul Nicholls has a lot of options for his horses this week. Nicholl's horses Frodon and Greaneteen won at the Dublin Racing Festival. Bravemansgame is entered into the Handicap Chase and Denman Chase at Newbury on Saturday. Nichol's horse has won the last three races. He has also entered Braveman's Novice Chase last time out at Kempton. The trainer has other options in the coming weeks. They include the Aintree Grand National in April and the Huntingdon meeting on Thursday.

Bravemansgame and Clan Des Obeaux are Newbury's hopes for the Novices’ Handicap over 2m 7f. The intention is for Bravemans game to run in the first race on the card. Clan Obecaux will be run at Denman Chase.

Hitman is aiming for www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/en/horse-racing-betting-7">Betfair Exchange Game Spirit Chase. He didn't run at Ascot because he didn’t want to take on Shishkin and Energumene. The winner of the Tingle Creek and Haldon Gold Cup won at Newbury last year.

Knappers Hill has won two Novices’ Hurdles and is in good form. He will run in the Betfair Huddle on Saturday. The horse that finished second in Ireland yesterday ran well in a grade one. Knappers has worked on his jumping at home. He jumped better at Ascot than he did on the first two starts.

Knappers Hill will go to Aintree, not Cheltenham. Paul Nicholls is 'obsessed' with Chelterham, but prefers Aintsree.

Flash Collonges, Chavez and Tahmuras are the horses to watch this week. The horse that ran second at Chepstow will run in the Novices’ Chase at Exeter.

Paul Nicholls is looking forward to Newbury's game against Cheltenham. For help with a gambling problem call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 or go to www.gamstop.co.uk.
