Racing: Beaumont hoping for Aintree tilt with Niki

Peter Beaumont is facing a race against time to have another tilt at the Martell Grand National with Niki Dee.

Niki Dee ran a cracking race to finish third to Papillon in the 2000 renewal of the Aintree marathon and then went to Punchestown for the Heinekin Gold Cup in May that year but has not run since.
