Nicky Henderson mulling over Sprinter Sacre’s next outing

Sprinter Sacre may bid to regain his Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase crown without another run following his tremendous victory at Kempton on Sunday.

With the Clarence House Chase at Ascot on January 23 and the Betfair Price Rush Chase at Newbury on February 13 as the only serious possible races for the brilliant two-miler before the Cheltenham Festival, trainer Nicky Henderson has to consider that option.

“They are only two races for him really before Cheltenham, the Clarence House and the Game Spirit (Betfair Price Rush Chase), so it’s possible he might go to Cheltenham without another run,” said the Seven Barrows trainer.
