Paul Nicholls: Huelgot and Barbados Buck's should run well at Wincanton on Boxing Day

• Paul Nicholls' Boxing Day runners (away from Kempton)

• Huelgot looking to continue fine form at Wincanton

• Barbados Buck's can build on promising return

• Pair will gain valuable experience at Huntingdon

Wincanton

Cheek-pieces could help him sharpen up

13:28 - Milan Bridge

He is an out and out stayer who wants three miles plus if not four. He was flat out at Sandown last time so we are putting on the cheek-pieces in the hope that they sharpen him up.

Revelatory runner can go well again

14:03 - Huelgot

He has been a revelation this season, winning four handicaps on the bounce before finishing in the money on his last two starts. He started his winning sequence on a mark of 97, is now up to 120 and I don't think easier ground conditions should be a problem for him. He has given his owners no end of fun and has earned a short winter holiday after Boxing Day.

Looks set to build on impressive return

15:13 - Barbados Buck's

He is back over hurdles this season after a disappointing chasing campaign last winter when he didn't seem to enjoy jumping fences. He also had a wind op in the summer before an encouraging return at Newbury a month ago when he wasn't really ready yet looked like winning going to the final flight until he got a little bit tired. He looks great in his coat and if he has improved for the outing then he must run very well in this Pertemps qualifier.

Nice prospect can gain valuable experience here

15:45 - Tinklers Hill

He is a nice prospect by Milan out of a useful mare and was one of our more expensive buys as a three-year-old. He is ready to start now, will be a stayer in time, and like all of our debutants is bound to improve for the run.

Huntingdon

We're still learning about him

14:22 - All Dancer

He won over hurdles in France before joining us, has spent spent time in the sidelines and we are still finding out about him. He hasn't shown much this season in two starts at Chepstow but I'm hoping he can progress in the spring as he gains experience over fences.

More improvement expected

15:32 - Mullins Bay

Some of ours were not quite ready when he made his debut early at Newton Abbot but he still ran nicely that day, seems to have improved and should run tidily.
