HORSE POWER Nicholls hoping to bring the drama at Sandown

No Drama This End, right

Trainer Paul Nicholls and part-owner Max McNeill have made no secret of the regard in which they hold the five-year-old, who was a £160,000 purchase in March 2024 after winning a point-to-point by 23 lengths the previous month.

No Drama This End won one of his two bumper starts, coming unstuck in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, but there could be no arguing with the promise of his initial hurdles spin as he delivered a three-length win back at Cheltenham in what appeared a pretty strong event.

He barely put a foot wrong that day and seemed to have plenty left in the locker, so even though he must shoulder a penalty for that graded win here, No Drama This End still looks a worthy favourite.
