Henry lords it at Ascot

Aintree is on the agenda for the Philip Hobbs-trained Lord Henry after his all-the-way romp in the Berkshire Life Novices’ Chase at Ascot.

A wide-margin winner of his only previous race over larger obstacles at Hereford last June, the 6-4 chance had been readied for this with a run in the County Hurdle, in which he finished down the field.
