Twelve months on from a Cheltenham Festival he could scarcely have dared dream would go so well, Henry de Bromhead is simply concentrating on getting his stable stars back to the showpiece meeting in the shape to do themselves justice.
The County Waterford handler was crowned leading trainer at the Festival for the first time – with his six-winner haul including the brilliant Honeysuckle in the Champion Hurdle and Minella Indo leading home stablemate A Plus Tard in the Gold Cup, while Put The Kettle on took the Champion Chase.
“We just try to get them there in the best shape we can,” he told talkSPORT. “Obviously a lot went the right way for us last year, I don’t know if we can expect that again but we’ll get them there as well as we possibly can and hope for the best after that.”
