Last year's G1 Deutsches Derby winner Palladium (Ger) (Gleneagles {Ire}), who was sold for €1.4 million at Arqana, has been given his first hurdles entry by his new trainer Nicky Henderson. The four-year-old, who remains a colt, is entered for the two-mile maiden hurdle at Huntingdon next Thursday in the colours of Lady Bamford.
Bred by Gestut Fahrhof and formerly trained by Henk Grewe, Palladium has won two of this six starts on the Flat, including his Classic success, which gave Germany's champion jockey Thore Hammer-Hansen his first Derby victory.
He was subsequently offered during Arqana's Arc Sale in early October, and was bought for Lady Bamford through Highflyer Bloodstock.
