Henderson’s heavy ground worry for Bob

Hennessy Gold Cup favourite Bobs Worth’s participation in Saturday’s big race will not be confirmed until trainer Nicky Henderson has walked the course at Newbury and spoken with connections.

The trainer was inspecting the Berkshire track on yesterday afternoon as he is worried about potentially heavy ground and wanted time to mull over his thoughts.

A dual Cheltenham Festival winner, Bobs Worth has not been seen since beating First Lieutenant in the RSA Chase last March.
