Paul Nolan commenced training in 1996, having worked with Jim Bolger he decided to embrace a training career. Since then he has never looked back training over 400 winners between all codes to date, which including winners all the major festivals such as Cheltenam, Aintree, Punchestown, Galway & Fairyhouse.

Paul is only the second trainer ever to train three Galway hurdle winners, 2002 Say Again, 2004 Cloone River, 2006 Cuan na Grai.Dabiroun also was our first Cheltenham Festival winner, in 2005 and provided Nina Carberry with her first festival success also.

The Team at Toberona Stables is what we account our success to and without our staff, success would not be possible. At Toberona we look forward to training more big winners for owners and would like to thank our loyal sponsors SoftCo of the past few years. We look forward to another successful campaign for 2011/ 2012
