He's tasted glory over hurdles at the Festival - can Celestial Halo repeat on the Flat at Ascot?

"I will be switching the flat cap for the Top Hat!"

In another exclusive Paul Nicholls reveals he has big plans for former star hurdler and it involved the biggest Flat racing meeting in the world

I revealed in this column a fortnight ago that I recently took out a dual purpose license.

And I can tell you what will probably be my first runner on the Flat.

If all goes to plan, it may be Celestial Halo, runner-up in the 2009 Champion Hurdle, in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot.

So, I will be switching the flat cap for the Top Hat that day!

Back to jumping, I aim to run both Robinson Collonges and Rebel Du Maquis in the Grade 1 Scilly Isles Novices' Chase at Sandown on Saturday.
