NICKY HENDERSON has waved goodbye to a big Cheltenham Festival fancy - after selling him for a 'six-figure sum' to a rival trainer in 'unusual' circumstances. High-profile owner Olly Harris has decided to flog three horses he has in training with Seven Barrows boss Hendo.

The seven-year-old gelding has won four of his six races and is a three-time winner at Cheltenham. A natural chaser, he is 20-1 for both the Ultima Handicap Chase and National Hunt Chase at March's Festival. Peaky Boy was initially offered through the sales ring at £195,000 but didn't sell.
It later emerged the horse had changed hands privately for an 'undisclosed six-figure sum' and gone to Jonjo O'Neill. The Grand National-winning trainer, who now trains in tandem with son AJ, recent acquired the hugely promising Indiana Dream from Willie Mullins.
