Kadarann cheer for Nicholls

PAUL NICHOLLS is making a very strong bid to land the jump trainers’ championship for the first time and Kadarann did his bit for the cause when landing the £50,000 skybetvegas.com Castleford Chase at Wetherby yesterday.

The Ditcheat trainer had earlier been on the mark with Strong Flow in the £55,000 Feltham Novices’ Chase at Kempton.

With Isio an absentee as a result of a setback, only three runners lined up for the two-mile test and Kadarann was a bit reluctant to start, but Joe Tizzard soon got him going and he was at the head of affairs at the fourth.
