Nicholls has started the season in some form and although sending a strong team to one of his local tracks Wincanton on Saturday, he has also done the same at Aintree.
Looking to take the spoils in the big races at both tracks he runs the likes of McFabulous, Knappers Hills, Enrilo and Frodon at Wincanton, whilst at Aintree he tries to land the Grand Sefton with Broken Halo and also the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle with Milan Bridge.
Nicholls heads into the weekend in flying form running at a strike rate of 36% for the last two weeks, managing 13 winners from his 36 runners.
Big weekend pending for the 13 time champion trainer.
