Paul Nicholls Horses To Follow
Paul Nicholls has been a National Hunt trainer since the 1980s and remains a prominent figure in the racing world. The Ditcheat handler has been crowned Champion Trainer on 14 occasions and has won virtually all the significant races on the calendar. It continues to be the case that horse owners will send their charges to this trainer in the hope of being successful in the biggest races.
Indeed, Nicholls-trained horses continue to win at a merry pace. Here at Bookies.com, we are committed to providing odds on all the horses who are lining up on a daily basis at top UK betting sites. Sometimes there are a large number of runners, and it’s good to get their corresponding prices and find out the biggest fancies for each meeting.
Nicholls has saddled horses such as Kauto Star and Denman, both legendary runners who have won Gold Cups. He was also responsible for the training of Big Buck’s, who won four consecutive Stayers’ Hurdles, with Master Minded having been one of his best two-mile chasers. This horse notched successive wins in the Queen Mother Champion Chase. Therefore, it’s always worth keeping an eye on his charges in these big races.
Paul Nicholls Horses for Cheltenham
Paul Nicholls is one of the select few trainers who has reached the 50-winner mark at the Cheltenham Festival. These successes have been spread across a wide range of races. The handler is most synonymous with Gold Cup success thanks to Kauto Star’s double in 2007 and 2009. In between, Denman also won 2008, and his first triumph came through See More Business in 1999.
The same handler has scored six times in the Queen Mother Champion Chase, with Azertyuiop landing success in 2004, with Master Minded obliging in 2008 and 2009. There’s also the Big Buck’s legacy in the Stayers’ Hurdle, where the horse was in the winners’ enclosure on four consecutive occasions. Nicholls continues to go to each Cheltenham Festival mob-handed. Although winners have been more scarce in recent years, Caldwell Potter was on target in the Golden Miller Novices’ Chase in 2025. Stay Away Fay won the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle in 2023, and there was a victory for Monmiral in the 2024 Pertemps Network Final.
Paul Nicholls Horses for the Grand National
Nicholls had to wait a while to be successful in the Grand National, but he landed the spoils in 2012 when Neptune Collonges achieved fame in the Aintree classic. The British trainer continues to send horses to the Merseyside track in the hope of landing a success. He’s enjoyed plenty of winners at the Grand National meeting including Clan Des Obeaux scoring in the Betway Bowl in 2021 and 2022.
Paul Nicholls Horses for the King George
The King George VI Chase has been consistently targeted by Paul Nicholls. He’s benefitted from the leading Irish trainers often choosing to enter their horses at other races over the festive period. That has enabled the British handler to win the race over a dozen times. Kauto Star was a five-time winner between 2006 and 2011, with See More Business, Silviniaco Conti and Clan Des Obeaux all achieving a double success in this Boxing Day Grade 1 encounter.

Paul Nicholls Biography
Nicholls was born in the small town of Lydney, Gloucestershire, close to the River Severn. Although Nicholls’ father was a policeman, and he himself worked in a bakery whilst in school, the fact that his family had little interest in horses mattered little, as Paul was enamoured with them from a young age.
Having ridden ponies in his younger years, Nicholls began working in a point-to-point yard as a teenager, and finally left school at the age of 16 to begin what would turn out to be an amazing career in the racing industry.
In 1982 he would become a conditional jockey for trainer, David Barons, and enjoyed plenty of success in the saddle, with two Hennessy Gold Cup wins at Newbury and a Welsh National at Chepstow being the highlights. Being such a big man, weight was always going to be a problem for Nicholls throughout his riding career, and this, partnered with a badly broken leg, eventually forced him into retirement in 1989.
Training racehorses had always been the dream for Nicholls, and after spending two years as assistant to the aforementioned Barons, he eventually took out his own license in 1991, and moved to an old yard in Ditcheat, Somerset. The yard belonged to local farmer Paul Barber – someone who would become a huge part of the new trainer’s career in the future.
Initially, Nicholls had just eight horses in training, but quickly made a name for himself in the industry, particularly for the fitness of his horses, who were benefiting from exercising up the now infamous hill gallop at Ditcheat.
See More Business, Call Equiname, and Flagship Uberalles, were the first real star horses to enter Paul Nicholls’ stables. It was these three who gave the trainer an unforgettable year in 1999, as they all won at the Cheltenham Festival, See More Business in the Gold Cup, Call Equiname in the Champion Chase, and Flagship Uberalles the Arkle Chase.
From here on, Nicholls was sitting at the top table of the National Hunt racing game. In 2004 he would better his 1999 Cheltenham haul by one, this time with the assistance of Ruby Walsh, who by now was stable jockey at Ditcheat.
In the same year as his four-timer at Cheltenham, a horse named, Kauto Star, strolled into Nicholls’ yard, and both horse and trainer’s lives would never be the same again. Kauto Star became one of the greatest National Hunt horses of all time and provided his trainer with an incredible haul of top-level victories, including two Cheltenham Gold Cups, four Betfair Chases, and a record five King George VI Chases.
Just one year after the flamboyant Kauto Star came into Paul Nicholls’ life, a different type of beast trudged his way into the Ditcheat yard. Irish point-to-pointer, Denman, was like chalk to Kauto Star’s cheese in looks and attitude, but, ‘The Tank’ – as he would become known – possessed just as much ability as his new stablemate, and the added attribute of an undying will to win.
With the likes of Big Bucks and Master Minded also in his arsenal, it would prove to be a golden era for Nicholls, but it was the rivalry between Kauto Star and Denman that would capture the imagination of the racing world. Kauto Star won his first Gold Cup in 2007, but went down to his new rival Denman the following year. The following season, the two would do battle again at Cheltenham, this time, however, Denman was lining up after an interrupted season in which he was diagnosed with a heart murmur. It was a testament to the horse that he still had the ability to finish runner-up to his stablemate, who was creating history by being the first horse to ever regain the Gold Cup title.
Speaking of titles, in the 2022-2023 season, Nicholls won his 14th British champion jumps trainer title, moving him just one short of the legendary, Martin Pipe. The fact that Nicholls is still determined to win the title each and every season is a testament to how much love he retains for the sport. It would be surprising if he were not to surpass, Pipe, particularly given the number of horses he runs each season. He will just be hoping that some of those horses might kickstart another golden era at Ditcheat.
