Legendary trainer Nicky Henderson has admitted he is facing a dilemma wondering where to take Punchestowns for his next race after he was forced to withdraw from the Dipper Novices' Chase at Cheltenham last Friday.

The Ladbrokes World Hurdle runner-up was withdrawn after the freezing temperatures caused officials to inspect the track on three occasions.

Henderson explained: "He's a big heavy-topped horse who hasn't been without his problems. Although the ground was as safe as houses there was a slight doubt in my mind.

"Now he will be the big nightmare because there's nothing for him. What I would give for a track to give us a nice two-and-a-half-mile novice chase somewhere.

"I'd like to get another couple into him ahead of the Festival, but we're looking at quite a disruption with the weather."

Punchestowns is currently a 5/1 shot for the 2010 RSA Novices Chase, follow this link to Ladbrokes to see the antepost market and find out how to get a free bet on the race.
