The Unibet Hurdle won by ‘The New Lion finished in almost silence, with huge concern surrounding Nicky Henderson's superstar after he was pulled up by Nico de Boinville just after halfway, although thankfully the six-year-old was able to walk onto the horse ambulance after being attended to by the oncourse veterinary team.

“I've spoken with the veterinaries and they’re happy he had a reasonably comfortable night,” the Seven Barrows handler said.
