'He's been schooled over fences and was excellent - he looks fantastic and I couldn't be happier'

Nicky Henderson managed to surpass £2 million in prize-money for the 14th time last season, and he will be hoping to achieve the same feat again with several star names to call upon.

Constitution Hill is very much on another comeback mission after a disastrous spring which included back-to-back falls at Cheltenham and Aintree, but disregard him at your peril. His road to returning for a crack at the Champion Hurdle in March is expected to feature the BetMGM Fighting Fifth next month, before heading to Kempton on Boxing Day for the Ladbrokes Christmas Hurdle. 

Jonbon and the exciting Lulamba are standout names to follow for the season, alongside the returning Sir Gino, who could have a huge part to play if he has overcome his injury complications from last term.
