Double in Devon dispels any bad omens for Nicholls

FRIDAY the 13th proved to be anything but unlucky for Ditcheat trainer Paul Nicholls as he scooped a double at Newton Abbot.

- 

Victories for two of his three runners, all of whom were favourites on the afternoon, have pushed Nicholls onto 11 winners from 25 runs to close in on nearly £100,000 already for the campaign.

After evens favourite Keel Strand lived up to the billing at the same track at the start of the month, alongside a win for Byzantium at Warwick on the same day, Nicholls returned to the Devon track looking for further success.

His evening began with 5/6 favourite Seeyouinmydreams comfortably coming home by 22 lengths in the two-runner Country Show On 9th August Mares’ Handicap Hurdle.
