'Don't worry about jumpers in Lambourn' - Cheltenham wins swing pendulum again

It might have been a golden year for Lambourn's Flat trainers, but the jumps brigade are also in fantastic shape. And you don't need to just take my word for it.

"There are lots of good jumpers in the village – don't worry about that," Nicky Henderson told me at Newbury on Tuesday morning when he put some of his team through their paces at the track.

Henderson is a towering personality in Lambourn and, despite training titles finding their way to Somerset, remains arguably the biggest draw in British jump racing.
