After race at Aintree Fri, 4th Apr, 2025 (1st)  That wasn’t a very easy day for any of us yesterday. We all feel that and I know he does, too. We have issues we’ve got to sort out with Constitution Hill, but he and I will work that one out. For him to come back and give a horse a ride like that today, that’s a great man. That (Punchestown) would be our intention. He’s back at home in Seven Barrows in his box and he was sound this morning. Nicky Henderson

After race at Aintree Fri, 12th Apr, 2024 (1st)  I don’t know why, but everybody loves him, I know JP does as well. He dug very deep today didn’t he? And he had to. His jumping was very slick and it was a great ride – you saw him at his best today. All the guys at home do a great job as if you change the routine, you could upset this fella very, very easily. I think we’ve got the hang of him now, we’re learning!. I always wondered whether we should have been thinking about the Ryanair this year and when we stepped Shishkin up to two and a half we soon realised he actually wanted three. I’m not saying that about Jonbon at the moment as Nico thought that trip was perfect for him around here. I think the two and a half is probably ideal, although I’m trying to get Nico to say he’ll stay three. But we can think about those things during the summer. He is a flagship horse. He’s been there a long time now, you can go back to when he was battling El Fabiolo here in a novice hurdle here two years ago – he’s been at the top for a fair old while. He’s just been a star all the way through and we love him, I hope he loves us! Nicky Henderson
