Betfair Ambassador Paul Nicholls has just the one runner at Cheltenham on Friday and it's one that sprung a surprise by winning on debut last month...

Looking to build on debut win

Cheltenham, 15:30 - Hermes Allen

He hadn't shown too much in his homework and surprised us a bit by the way he won so easily on his debut over hurdles at Stratford last month.

While this is a much deeper race against some useful novices he was successful in a Point-to-Point in Ireland a year ago and is going to make a lovely chaser in time.

I'm hopeful of a big run from Hermes Allen who has woken up since Stratford and has improved.
