Sentry guards big prize for Henderson
Such was the extraordinary form of trainer Nicky Henderson at Ascot on Saturday, the only surprise about Sentry Duty winning a particularly competitive renewal of The Ladbroke was his odds of 12-1.
Admittedly the tremendously gifted trainer had a shorter-priced runner in the disappointing 5-1 second-favourite Aigle D’Or but with the Boylesports International and the BCG Long Walk Hurdle already in the bag on the afternoon, Barry Geraghty’s ride was an obvious contender.
