Trainer Nicky Henderson has stated that Might Bite is ready to do himself justice at Aintree tomorrow.
Might Bite was sent off as favourite in the Cheltenham Gold Cup last month, but on the day he was out-classed by the highly impressive Native River.
But Henderson believes he has a huge chance of the landing the Betway Bowl on Thursday, after some impressive work-outs over the Seven Barrows gallops since finishing second in the Gold Cup.
Henderson said, via At The Races:
I was delighted with his run in the Gold Cup, and he has came out of it in great form.
The Seven Barrows handler also admitted that his 9-year-old had a hard race at Cheltenham due to the testing conditions, but believes he has a great chance of another grade 1 success come flag fall tomorrow. He added:
The ground was soft there, and it will obviously be the same here. I don’t know how much Cheltenham has taken out of him, but his work has been excellent in schooling and he must come here with a great chance.
However, Henderson and the Seven Barrows tribe will be hoping for yet another valuable prize, but it won’t come easy, as the likes of Bristol De Mai & Definitely Red will be looking to crash the party on Merseyside.
