Villez set to fire for Nolan Dix Villez and Shinrock Paddy will lead Paul Nolan's small team at the Cheltenham Festival. Neither of the pair have been seen since winning a cross-country race and a bumper respectively at the Paddy Power meeting at the course last November. The County Wexford trainer said: "We would have a team of five going over. Dix Villez will have Davy Russell in place for the cross-country. We'd be hopeful, but Enda Bolger's horses will be hard to beat. "Shinrock Paddy has a chance in the Champion Bumper and I really hope his owner and rider Barry Connell gets a good spin. "The horse is a thriver. He has had a break since Cheltenham but we have been giving him loads of work. He has been very impressive and we think an awful lot of him. "It will be a tough race to win though - Willie Mullins has about nine in there and Dermot Weld has a couple of good ones too."
