VALLEY SET FOR WARWICK Royal & SunAlliance Hurdle fancy Valley Henry is set to take his chance at Warwick on Saturday. The six-year-old, impressive winner of both his starts this season, will be declared for the Michael Page Technology Novices` Trial Hurdle. The meeting passed an inspection today and trainer Paul Nicholls and owner Paul Barber will check on ground conditions before the gelding is given the green light to run. Nicholls told the Racing Channel today: 'I`m quite keen to run but Paul Barber`s getting slightly nervous in case the ground is bad so we`ll probably declare him and have a look. 'I want to get a run into him before the Festival and it would fit in nicely so we`ll discuss it in the morning. 'But I think he`ll probably run.' Nicholls will also be represented by five-year-old Whitenzo in the Michael Page International Kingmaker Novices` Chase on the same card, while he is set to be double-handed at Newcastle. 'I shall run Whitenzo in the novice chase there as well - I presume that won`t be an easy race if Rodock of Martin Pipe`s runs. 'I also run Murt`s Man (Tote Northern National) and Mister Benjamin (Fairyhouse Racecourse Novices` Chase) at Newcastle.'
