Paul Nicholls sends a superb team of runners to Cheltenham on Saturday and could come away with a handful of winners which makes him the trainer to follow across the afternoon.
The yards first big runner of the afternoon comes in the Novices' Chase where the event has only attracted three runners and it looks a big opportunity to Monmiral to get off the mark over fences.
Next sees the Handicap Chase over 2m 1/2f and Nicholls sends two chances into the race with Dolos and the younger Thyme White both having angles into the contest.
Nicholls has the favourite in the December Gold Cup with Il Ridoto looking to prove the doubters wrong that he does stay this trip and the yard also field Simply The Betts, who is a class act on his day.
Knappers Hill is the Ditcheat stables big runner in the Grade Two International Hurdle on Saturday with him being very progressive and looking a value player at 4/1.
The final runner for the yard on the afternoon is Outlaw Peter in the Grade Two Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle, with the 6/4 joint favourite looking for back to back wins.
Nicholls heads into the Cheltenham meeting sporting a strike rate of 34% for the last two weeks, managing to land 14 winners from his last 41 runners.
