Not seen since April 2014, Henderson had hoped he would be ready to have a crack at Faugheen and The New One in the Grade One, which he won in 2013.

However, after working on Saturday morning Henderson has conceded he needs a little more time.

Speaking in his Stan James blog Henderson said: “My Tent Or Yours worked this morning and what we’ve concluded is that he isn’t going to go to the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton.

“We’re just going to have to give him a bit more time which is a bit boring but we have every intention of him being ready for the StanJames Champion Hurdle.

“With one thing and another, we’ve just struggled a little bit and we’ll just have to put it on hold. He’s just not quite ready.

“He’d definitely want to run before the Champion Hurdle but one run would do him. We even used a jumpers’ bumper at Kempton before for him.

“We’ve just have to monitor it and see how he’s getting on. I hope it won’t take us too much longer but we’ll just have to wait and see.”

In the absence of My Tent Or Yours Henderson intends to run both Hargam and Sign Of A Victory as long as the ground at the venue is suitable.
