Henderson readies six-strong Betfair challenge

Nicky Henderson has six chances of hitting the target in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury today, among them a former Champion Hurdle hero and a live candidate for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.

Leading the Seven Barrows assault on the valuable prize is ante-post favourite My Tent Or Yours, who will try to turn around what has been a dreadful week for JP McManus.

McManus has been hit with the death on the track of Darlan, a season-ending injury to the promising Ned Buntline, and the loss of the broodmare Like-A-Butterfly.
