The name Nicky Henderson goes hand-in-hand with seriously classy animals such as Sprinter Sacre, Altior and the new superstar Constitution Hill.

A capable jockey turned trainer, the Lambourn handler's career has spanned four decades, brought him six Champion Jumps Trainer titles and over 3000 winners.

Now into his 70's, this elder statesman of National Hunt racing shows no signs of slowing down and will be looking to build on his pair of Cheltenham Gold Cup wins, nine Champion Hurdles and six Queen Mother Champion Chase victories.

Never underestimate this trainer with the tweed suit and a cheeky smile, who has a deadly arsenal of equine talent at his disposal.
