  • Henderson said he has “suddenly developed quality” and looks “a completely different horse to last year.”
  • The workout forms part of his build-up to the Grade 1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle on November 29.
  • Last year’s Newbury spin drew negative readings and brief retirement chatter that connections quickly dismissed.
  • Newbury’s gallops morning drew a strong turnout, with Henderson sending six horses as the event’s profile continues to rise.
