Cheltenham A Possible For Hennessy

Mark Pitman is aiming Hennessy for a possible tilt at the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival.

Pitman´s charge was only beaten a neck in a competitive bumper at Taunton on Monday - despite carrying seven pounds more than winner Willie Pep.

'We were absolutely delighted with him,' said Pitman.

'After a run like that we have to seriously consider the Champion Bumper and he will go there with every chance.'
