Sprinter Sacre future still in limbo

Nicky Henderson has yet to decide on plans for Sprinter Sacre – nearly two weeks after he was pulled up in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham.

Winner of the two-mile championship in 2013 before being sidelined for over a year with well-documented problems, Sprinter Sacre had made an encouraging comeback return when second to Dodging Bullets in the Clarence House Chase at Ascot in January.

However, he failed to build upon that effort on his return to the Festival earlier this month.
