Sacre A1 following comeback

Nicky Henderson reports Sprinter Sacre to be A1 following his comeback run in the Sodexo Clarence House Chase at Ascot on Saturday.

The 2013 Queen Mother Champion Chase hero may have been beaten into second place by Dodging Bullets but his trainer was pleased with the performance as the nine-year-old had been absent since suffering well-documented heart problems after being pulled up at Kempton 13 months ago.

Sprinter Sacre was found to be have suffered a small bleed after the race which Henderson did not think was too serious and he is satisfied with the condition of his star two-miler.
