Nicky Henderson will run four in Grand National in a bid to end hoodoo

• Long Run's National odds cut after encouraging reports
• Champion trainer still hopes to catch Paul Nicholls

Meanwhile, Henderson conceded that Hunt Ball's stamina would be severely tested by the National's four and a half miles but expected that his owners would be keen to try their luck in the race. "He's run a great race [to be fourth at the Festival] and an extra half-mile's going to help him. This is an extra two miles."
