Robbie Henderson is proving himself to be a very accomplished rider and should record another winner aboard Nick Mitchell's LOUIS PASTEUR, who only went down by a neck to the promising What Of It at Leicester last month. That form is head and shoulders above anything achieved by his rivals in this though The Apprentice was placed between the flags at Ideford Arch last month and Walter De Wodeland led for much of the trip when fourth at Chipley Park in January.
