Nicky Henderson: “We all love Gino and hopefully this will set us up nicely for a crack at the Unibet Champion Hurdle.”

CHELTENHAM 12:05 Califet En Vol (Nico De Boinville) The big question is how many of these will run and what the ground will be like.

Nico de Boinville: “We could not have been more delighted with his Christmas Hurdle defeat of Golden Ace.”

12.05pm Cheltenham Califet En Vol A really good novice hurdler, who returned home very sore after his final run at Aintree in Grade 1 company,.

Nico de Boinville: “Let’s hope he can continue to head in the right direction in this sphere.”

Nicky Henderson

Nicky Henderson: “If he can get into a rhythm and enjoy himself I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go close.”

SUNDAY – WINDSOR 12:50 Fresh Kicks (James Bowen) Three miles at Ascot last time may have been a stretch too far so he’s dropping back.

Nicky Henderson

SATURDAY ASCOT 12:25 Macshadow Des Crai (James Bowen) He’s a likeable chap who should come on for his first run at Cheltenham and he jumps.

Nico de Boinville: “We are really looking forward to seeing what Old Park Star can do, upped in grade.”

1.25pm Haydock Old Park Star I thought Hurricane Pat was tremendously impressive in beating Soldier Reeves at Sandown and he could be a formidable opponent.

WINDSOR – FRIDAY 4:05 As The Fella Says (Nico de Boinville) I don’t think he quite saw out the trip at Cheltenham last time as.

Nico de Boinville

Nico de Boinville: “This step back in trip could see him in a better light”

4.05pm Windsor As The Fella Says It’s good to be back in the saddle after a small absence due to a minor issue, and all.

Nico de Boinville: “It makes sense to switch back to hurdles and attempt to win the race he did last year”
