Nicholls plotting new Noland plan

Paul Nicholls has to find another race for Noland to make his chasing debut after the weather thwarted his planned run at Newbury tomorrow.

The champion trainer had hoped to give the seven-year-old his first outing since he won the 2006 Supreme Novices’ Hurdle in the Pheasant Inn Novices’ Chase at the Berkshire track.
