Henderson continues title march

Nicky Henderson might have been taking a brief post-Cheltenham holiday but his stable continues to send out the winners regardless, as 1-9 favourite Lyvius obliged at Warwick without breaking sweat.

Henderson retreated to Switzerland after an astonishing Festival, where seven victories earned him the position of the most successful trainer in the history of the meeting, as well as nosing him just past Paul Nicholls in the 2011-12 championship standings.
