Clan leading the way for Nicholls

Clan Des Obeaux is the most likely to gain entry to the Betfred TV Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase on Sunday, according to Paul .

Nicholls has placed four of his in the Grade 1 event at which will be run over an extended two-and-a-half miles.

The champion trainer is hoping to have all bases covered as he waits for the forecast, but he feels Clan is the most likely to get the nod.

The five-year-old, who is part-owned by Sir Alex Ferguson, is well suited to soft ground and Nicholls admits he is leaning towards Clan.

Nicholls said: “I’ve put four in the Scilly Isles Chase at Sandown, with Clan Des Obeaux the most likely runner if the forecast for plenty of rain this week is correct.”
