Nicholls Keeps Options Open
Paul Nicholls is set to have at least two runners in The Ladbroke at Ascot on Saturday.
The champion trainer plans to run Tito Bustillo and Advisor and he will decide later in the week whether Toubab goes for the valuable handicap hurdle as well or runs at the Berkshire track on Friday instead in the Mitie Kennel Gate Novices' Hurdle.
"I have three in there. Toubab is also in on Friday and I've only put him in there just to cover my options. I'll definitely run Tito Bustillo and Advisor," said the Ditcheat handler.
"With Toubab I haven't made my mind up whether we go Friday or Saturday."
