Nolan Hopeful for Maucaillou Maucaillou bids to get Paul Nolan off the mark for the week, when he lines up in tomorrow’s Pertemps Final. ‘He loves it around here and never seems to run a bad race at Cheltenham. He has a poor win record, but the fast pace and good ground will suit him,’ he reported. Of Noble Prince, who will carry Nolan’s hopes in Friday’s County Hurdle, he added,’ he travelled over great and he runs of 146 over here and is 144 at home. But Alain (Cawley) can claim 3lbs in that race, so he is 1lb well in and there are too many Irish horses who are what you’d call, ‘well in’ in handicap hurdles over here.’ He concluded,’ he won’t mind the ground but ideally our yielding is what he’d like.’
