4 y bg Study Of Man – Yoga (Steve)
Paul Nicholls might not have quite the army of grade 1 stars of the past, but he is still a force to be reckoned with, and it’s no surprise some of his novices have been picked. This one made his debut at Fairyhouse in November last year, winning a 2m 1f Academy hurdle by 5l from Apache Peak.
Bought at the Cheltenham November sale, he reappeared at Newbury in December, winning a 2m Introductory hurdle by ¾ l from Act Of Innocence (gave 20 lb), then at Cheltenham in January was 3rd in the 2m 1f grade 1 Juvenile hurdle, beaten 3l by Maestro Conti (gave 3lb), and then at Taunton in April won a 2m novice hurdle by 10 l from Secret Sniper (gave 1 lb). He finished the season at Sandown in April finishing 5th, beaten 7l by Cosmic Connection ( gave 5lb), in the 2m novice handicap Championship hurdle.
Paul Nicholls told The Punter: "there is lots more to come from him and he will be aimed at the Gerry Fielden hurdle, then the William Hill hurdle at Newbury in February."
