WATCH: Nicky Henderson on Ascot hopes Jonbon, Buzz, Champ & On The Blind Side


Unibet Ambassador Nicky Henderson runs through some of his stable stars set to line up at Ascot this weekend.


Champ – Howden Long Walk Hurdle – Saturday

"We’re bringing Champ back to hurdles, only because if you’re going over fences with him you have to go left-handed. Over hurdles he doesn’t mind. We’ve had a few problems with Champ, but I’ve been really pleased with him in recent weeks and he was always a good hurdler anyway."

On The Blind Side – Howden Long Walk Hurdle – Saturday

"On The Blind Side will always be there. He’ll be rocking and rolling at the front end of the race. He showed at Newbury the other day he’s a hard horse to pass."
