Grand National winner provides update on cancer battle after six months of treatment

Grand National winning-trainer Oliver Sherwood has vowed to start afresh next season after getting the all-clear from cancer.

The 67-year-old told how he had been battling ill health on his return to Cheltenham earlier this month. Sherwood, who has sent out more than 1,300 winners in his career, was delighted to see Queens Gamble make an impressive debut in the mares' bumper.
