Dessie Hughes on White Star Line quoted on ATR website-
"He had a setback and I needed him to run in the Bobbyjo if he was going to make the National. I wanted him to have two races before it and we've run out of time now. I had hoped to get him there but it's not to be. He might make the Irish National now"

(ii) Henderson is usually useless at the National, but he lost the Trainer's Championship a couple of years ago by Nipper winning the Grand National, and maybe he'll get his own back on Nicholls, by winning the Trainers' Championship via the Grand National, especially as he said a couple of months ago that he needed to win the GN to win the Trainers' Championship this time.

since 2000, Henderson 1-45 in chases at 3m4f+, the only winner being Ceanannas Mor in a 4m Cheltenham handicap in 2003. He still thinks 2 1/2 milers win the National....

As horses are taken out I'm not replacing them. I'm now down to 12 Last year I had so many last minute hunches (non of them came anywhere btw) that I realised that I'd ended up betting against myself
Aurora's Encore saved the day for me
