A SUN-SOAKED Paul Nicholls took time out of his holiday to talk up the chances of his huge 33-1 Grand National fancy. The legendary Ditcheat trainer simply 'cannot wait' to go to the world's most famous race with Kandoo Kid. The nine-year-old Coral Gold Cup winner won't run again before the weights are revealed on Tuesday, February 11.

While the fifth Henry's Friend won the valuable Mandarin Handicap Chase at Newbury over Christmas. With the form well and truly franked, Nicholls wants to keep Kandoo Kid's mark protected before the big one on Saturday, April 5. The Betfair ambassador said: "He's in great shape. I'm not definitely going to run him before the National weights come out and risk getting any more.
"He keeps going up without running because everything behind him is winning. "He's 152 now and I want to keep him there - he is brilliant fresh and has been round Aintree. "If we think he needs a run I might look at a 2m4f race at Newbury in early March.
