Racecourse gallop option for L’Ami Serge

L’Ami Serge could have a racecourse gallop ahead of the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Trainer Nicky Henderson said the French import would not run again until the Festival in March after the five-year-old had taken his unbeaten record to three with a convincing success in the Grade One Tolworth Hurdle at Sandown on Saturday.

“(We were) very pleased with L’Ami Serge on Saturday. He won’t run again until the Festival and Nicky is a master at trying to do that,” bloodstock agent Anthony Bromley, who bought the horse for owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, said.
