EQUUS FORM
Mount Benbulben and Davy Condon winner at Fairyhouse on Saturday 1st December

Mount Benbulben overcame his fall last time out to get off the mark over fences at Fairyhouse under Davy Condon. Not always the most careful jumpers, he recovered from a blunder early on to win with ease.

REVIEW OF YESTERDAY'S Williamhill.com Novices' Chase 2m
Equus Zone
Another big winner for Team Henderson yesterday when novice chaser SIMONSIG partner BARRY GERAGHTY  handler presenter HOLLY CONTE (1-6f) took the 12.55  Williamhill.com Novices’ Chase at Kempton Park by 35 lengths.
 
Lee Mottershead brings us news: “Just six days on from SIMONSIG chasing debut win at Ascot he takes this Novices’ Chase at Kempton in his stride with confidence, no problem -  job well done. Henderson says “It was a brave shout to run him back so quick, and very
 un-Henderson-like, but I thought that practice is really all he wants.” To keep his eye in over the big chase fences, a confidence booster. Henderson goes on “That was his first run over two miles but there was never a worry about it. We’ve always said that when he went over fences it would be over two miles, it’s just that over hurdles Barry felt he would be better over two and a half.  He is doing everything we could ask him to do. He has just won on the bridle. I’m not being rude about the opposition, and HINTERLAND is not a mug, but we’ve given him 11lb yet it wasn’t a contest. Barry said that half way down the back  he thought about me standing in the stands absolutely wetting myself while he was having a lovely time. He summed it up right.” Asked to sum up SIMONSIG’S standing compared to SPRINTER SACRE Henderson added: “They have been known to saunter along together but you have to be very careful when you do that. They can help each other but it would be awfully easy for them to do too much. They are pretty similar and they both have a lot of speed. “
