PAUL Nicholls believes Unioniste can become the youngest horse to win the Paul Stewart IronSpine Charity Challenge Gold Cup at Cheltenham today after being a late addition to the field.
The four-year-old was only first reserve for the big handicap chase at the 48-hour final declaration stage and needed one horse to be taken out before yesterday’s 9am deadline. North Yorkshire trainer Ferdy Murphy came to the Ditcheat team’s rescue when he withdrew Divers, who will run at Doncaster instead, which was his first preference. Conditional Harry Derham takes the ride and can claim 5lb, leaving Unioniste to shoulder just 9st 9lb.
“Ferdy was very helpful and we had a fair idea that we might get in,” said Nicholls. “I thought it was a really good performance the last day. He’s got a nice, light weight. I’m not worried about him being a four-year-old – another four-year-old of mine hacked up in a handicap chase at Newbury the other week. If you saw him jumping at home, you would think he was an eight-year-old. He’s got plenty of experience.”
Nicholls is also represented by Cristal Bonus, who made a successful reappearance in the Grade Two Ladbrokes Chase at Down Royal six weeks ago.
