• Voix Du Reve to take it to Tommy Silver and Nicholls
• Mullins sends French raider over from Ireland to Sandown
• Punters should forgive Cheltenham Festival fall

Voix Du Reve ready to rock Sandown showdown

The British National Hunt Trainers’ Championship is going right down to the wire, and will be decided at Sandown this Saturday as Irish handler Willie Mullins challenges holder Paul Nicholls.

In the 1m 7f Juvenile Handicap Hurdle that opens proceedings (14:20), Voix Du Reve can defy top weight and bounce back from falling last time at the Cheltenham Festival to land the spoils for Mullins.

This will be just the four-year-old’s third run for his new handler, but French brown gelding Voix Du Reve has caught the eye on both his appearances since joining Mullins to date after winning a couple of races on home soil, including at Nancy.

Tommy Silver must make all to thwart Mullins

Voix Du Reve had every chance when going down at the final flight in the Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle last time out in March, having made major headway once reaching the top of the famous Prestbury Park hill.
