Nicky Henderson who has trained 68 Cheltenham Festival winners talked about his prospects for the 2021 meeting via Zoom, hosted by The Jockey Club.
ALTIOR: Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase. Altior could not be better and I’m very, very happy. His whole demeanour is in a better place than he has been this year. He will have one more bit of work and will be sharper this time.
There will be a battle and I am looking forward to it. Remember he is 11 now and is on 11-year-old legs. He has done very little wrong.
BUVEUR D’AIR: Unibet Champion Hurdle. I think Buveur D’Air has been forgotten. He’s out with the washing at the moment, whereas Epatante is sharing the favourite line with Honeysuckle and Goshen. It’s going to be very competitive.
