Trainers´ Championship to go right to the wire as Nicholls relies on Le Roi Miguel.

The battle for this season´s Champion Jump Trainer takes another interesting turn today at Cheltenham where Paul Nicholls saddles Le Roi Miguel in the Faucets For Mira Showers Silver Trophy.

Nicholls, who currently trails rival Martin Pipe by #84,603, runs another five runners at the meeting while Pipe is represented by no less than twelve runners.

Le Roi Miguel faces Pipe´s Seebald, Upgrade and Cyfor Malta in the 2m5f chase while the likes of Fondmort, Keltic Bard and Tikram are others who line up.

Nicholls commented 'Le Roi Miguel fell when he was going okay behind Isio and Moscow Flyer last time but he hasn´t proven he definitely stays this distance yet. He does go well at this time of year but I think he has plenty of weight. We have won it the last two years and it would be nice to win it again.'
