AN END-TO-END GALLOPER

THE Turners' Novices' Hurdle is a fascinating contest, especially since NO DRAMA THIS END (1.20) would be an odds-on favourite if he was trained by Willie Mullins rather than Paul Nicholls.

It is no secret Nicholls has been struggling to uncover talent like in years gone by.

But you don’t land 14 National Hunt Trainers' Championships without a process that works. You just need the firepower to service it and No Drama This End can take him back to dine at the top table.

What has impressed me so much has been his versatility this season. He was incredibly taking at the November meeting on soft ground, and then confirmed his stamina over this trip winning the Winter Novices' Hurdle at Sandown in December.
