They are very, very good." Although smart novice hurdlers were thin on the ground for Henderson last season, this year it is the opposite. Aside from fielding two of the favourites in the Supreme, Walking On Air and I Am Maximus will head to the Ballymore Novices Hurdle with claims.

I d have liked another run, but Nico (de Boinville) is confident if any horse can do it off one run, it s him," said Henderson. "I Am Maximus has very good form, he was probably just outstayed by Henry Daly s horse (Hillcrest) who is going for the Albert Bartlett." MAIN RACING INDEX 250 Next Ir Results Overnights Bookies

"I had it half in my mind that we could go up in trip for the Mares Hurdle and I said as such coming off the Kempton stand to JP, but I said we d see what Nico said anyway he said one word, 'no , so that was that. "She s just all speed and doesn t want to be going over further than two miles. MAIN RACING INDEX 250 Next Ir Results Overnights Bookies

Henderson will be represented in the Mares Hurdle by Marie s Rock, who was very impressive at Warwick last time out. "She looked special as a novice and then had to miss the Festival with a setback the week before," said Henderson. MAIN RACING INDEX 250 Next Ir Results Overnights Bookies

"I m quietly looking forward to her, she s pretty good." Henderson, who confirmed Dusart will run over three miles in the Brown Advisory Novices Chase, will also be searching for a third win in the Gold Cup with Chantry House, a winner at the Festival as a novice last term.
