Paul Nicholls is making his final preparations for next week's Cheltenham Festival but first there is some cracking racing at Sandown on Saturday, including the Betfair Imperial Cup.

First up, Paul discussed Sandown's Betfair-sponsored race at 13:50 in which he has two runners.

He said: "I've always had this race in mind for Fire Flyer. We ran two races quickly with him to qualify for this. He's a smart horse who won his Ascot bumper last year. He must have a lovely chance.

"My other horse in the race, Emailandy, keeps progressing nicely. I just think he's four to six pounds too high really. But he has a lovely chance to. It is a competitive race though."

Paul runs Sans Bruit in the the Betfair Imperial Cup at 14:25 and the ground should hold no fear for him.

Paul said: "He was a smart horse in France, had a wind-op and ran very free at Doncaster on testing ground when he just needed a run. He has come on bundles for that run.

"Bryony Frost said: 'Stick a hood on him, step him back to two miles and he will go close next time.' So I think he has a lovely each-way chance."

Finally, Paul runs Golden Son in the Betfair Serial Winners Fund Novices' Handicap Chase.

Paul said: "I think Sandown and soft ground will suit Golden Son very nicely. I've been impressed by the way he has stepped forward since his last run at Kempton. I am looking forward to running him."
