Sacre scares away Maghull opposition

Sprinter Sacre has frightened away all but three rivals as he attempts to take his unbeaten run over fences to five in this afternoon’s Maghull Novices’ Chase at Aintree.

The Nicky Henderson-trained gelding was a brilliant winner of the Arkle Trophy at Cheltenham last month and now goes for another Grade One success.

Barry Geraghty will be on board and has always spoken of Sprinter Sacre in glowing terms.
