Nicholls wants perfect send-off for McCoy Paul Nicholls would love to provide Tony McCoy with the perfect send-off at Sandown on Saturday as Mr Mole goes for glory in the A P McCoy Celebration Chase. The JP McManus-owned seven-year-old has been called plenty of names in the past, but has won three of his four starts this season, completing the hat-trick in Newbury's Game Spirit Chase in February on the day McCoy made the shock announcement he would be retiring at the end of the season. Mr Mole disappointed in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival last month, but has been carefully prepared by the champion trainer since in a bid to ensure he is in the best possible shape to give McCoy a fairytale ending to his incredible career. "There is nothing I would like more on Saturday than to provide AP McCoy with a winner on his final day in the saddle," Nicholls told betfair. "He has already won on Mr Mole several times and I've kept the horse fresh since Cheltenham for the AP McCoy Celebration Chase at Sandown. "Just imagine the reception he will get if he comes home in front on Mr Mole in the green and gold colours of his greatest supporter JP McManus. "He (Mr Mole) worked great on Wednesday morning, but then he always does work great. "He's in good shape, he's fresh and well so I'm really looking forward to running him. "AP got to like him a bit more this year, he's won three good races on him and he's been very progressive. "Saturday is a highly-competitive race and it's going to be on quick ground but we're happy with him anyway."
