Nicky Henderson is hoping Mr Coffey can grab glory in the 2023 Randox Grand National Festival at Aintree Racecourse and end the trainer's long wait for victory.
The Seven Barrows handler, who is now 72-years-old, has won every big race in National Hunt racing but he is yet to taste victory in the world's greatest steeplechase. And Henderson admits the 'clock is ticking' on his hopes to add the one major omission on his CV. The trainer's first ever runner in the race was Zongalero 44 years ago. He finished second to Rubstic in 1979, while The Tsarevitch was also runner-up for Henderson behind Maori Venture in 1987. Despite having had 42 horses to line-up in the Aintree marathon over the years, he is still without a winner.
