Impressive Princelet initiates nice double for Henderson
Owned by JP McManus, the 13-8 favourite earned a 33-1 quote from William Hill for the JCB Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham as he smoothly landed the spoils under Tony McCoy with a length and a half to spare from Traprain.Jumping well throughout, Princelet bounded clear on the top turn and although Traprain closed the gap, he never looked like putting in an effective challenge.
“Mick Fitzgerald has done all the work on Princelet at home but AP (McCoy) came over to school him on Tuesday,” explained Henderson’s assistant Charlie Longsdon.
