PENTLAND HILLS was one of the surprise packages of last season. He wasn't seen till February but then went on to win the Triumph Hurdle on just his second start for Unibet ambassador Nicky Henderson before confirming that was no fluke by scoring at Aintree. Underestimate him at your peril, says Nicky! Verdana Blue was another surprise package when she upset the odds in the Unibet Christmas Hurdle to defeat stablemate Buveur D'Air. They're both back this season, as is Fusil Raffles who was cruelly denied the chance of success at Cheltenham and Aintree but returned in fine fashion at Punchestown. He is really unexposed and 'could be anything'. In the video below Nicky admits he was surprised by how well he won first time up at Kempton and he must be an exciting horse for the season ahead. Nicky also discusses a number of his mares for this season including Apple's Shakira, Sunshade and Lust For Glory.

Coming on Saturday, news of Nicky Henderson's chasers for this season ahead. Don't miss it! Keep an eye on @UnibetRacing on Facebook and Twitter for all the latest from all our Horse Racing ambassadors!
