Paul Nicholls lands incredible 10,418/1 seven-timer across three meetings

Paul Nicholls pulled off an incredible seven-timer this afternoon at accumulated odds of 10,418/1.

The English trainer enjoyed a brilliant day across three cards as Master Tommytucker's win in the Silviniaco Conti Chase sealed the feet.

Nicholls built a catalogue of winners earlier in the day as Capeland (6/1), Flash Collonges (7/4), Storm Arising (6/1) and Pozo Emery (7/2) all obliged while favourites McFabulous (10/11) and Barbados Buck's (2/1) made no mistake.

All-in-all, Nicholls has enjoyed winners across Kempton, Wincanton and Chepstow today.

After McFabulous recaptured his winning form, Nicholls said: "This trip (two and a half miles) suits him. He will have an entry in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham, just in case it falls apart or something, but I guess I'd nearly keep him fresh for Aintree. I think Aintree over two and a half would suit him well.

"A fresh, flat track would suit him as well. We might then look at Sandown on the last day of the season as there is a lovely race for him there over two-five, then we can go chasing in the autumn as that is his job.

"We tried the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury and he wasn't beaten far, but I'm not convinced I want to give him a hard race against those horses at this stage of his career if he is going to be a super chaser.

"I see him as an ideal horse for the Kauto Star (Novices' Chase, at Kempton) next season."
