Nicky Henderson has delivered an upbeat bulletin about
current Cheltenham Gold Cup favourite, Bobs Worth
The reigning champion has not been seen out since landing
the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas and the master of Seven Barrows
described himself as happy with his preparations en route to this year's Festival.
Speaking at Doncaster, Henderson said:
"I'm pleased with Bob. Thank goodness we got the race into him in Ireland
because I would have hated to have to run him at Cheltenham the other week in
that ground. "Since the Lexus he has been gradually building back up and
now we'll start to get some serious work into him.
My Tent Or Yours is likely to go
down the racecourse gallop route in his preparation for the Stan James Champion
Hurdle after trainer Nicky Henderson ruled out a trip to Wincanton
Looking at the Arkle after Rock on Ruby’s
victory today, you can still get 8/1 about a Champion hurdle winner, and whilst
the market hinges on the participation of Champagne Fever, both are quite in
experienced and at double the price Rock On Ruby looks good value
