As racing fans eagerly await next month's Cheltenham Gold Cup, champion trainer Paul Nicholls shows off his impressive entrants

Interest is huge with the gathering journalists keen to quiz Nicholls on his chances after he landed a 1-2-3 finish last year

Most of the talk centres on a rematch between Denman and Kauto Star, the star names who live side-by-side at Manor Farm Stables

Denman, renowned for his grumpy demeanour, suffered his first defeat earlier this month after 11 months out with a heart problem

In contrast Kauto Star relishes being centre of attention and is in great form ahead of the showdown on 13 March

But they will once again face stiff competition from stablemate Neptune Collonges, who won the Hennessy Gold Cup last week

Nicholls shows off his other Festival entrants and says Champion Chase entry Master Minded is the "greatest" horse he has trained
