Afsoun Tries Three Miles

Chris Kisby - 12 Mar 2009

Nicky Henderson admits he is running out of ideas with Afsoun.

The former Champion Hurdle third takes his chance over three miles for the first time today - in the World Hurdle at Cheltenham. Henderson said of Afsoun and Cheltenham:

'I'm never really sure he likes it that much but we will try him over three miles and then see. We are running out of options and we could go back to fences.'

Afsoun has shown to be useful in the past but has since lost his way. Those who think he may perk up at the extended trip can get a huge 125/1 with Stan James.
