NICKOLSON bettered his hurdles form at the first attempt when second in a novice chase at Warwick on his return and looks on a good mark switched to a handicap. Nietzsche ran no sort of race in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham but he will find this much less competitive and isn't one to be writing off yet, while Glajou took a step back in the right direction back over hurdles here on return.
