Toby Lawes is probably a name not known to many outside Seven Barrows, but he is the lucky man who has been partnering Altior everyday for Nicky Henderson, and has decided to take out his own training licence.

Toby has spent the last five years at Henderson's base in Lambourn, and has signed a contract to take over from David Arbuthnot's yard at Henfold House Stables.

He began riding in point-to-points when he was just 16 and has since had the pleasure of riding out 2017 King George VI Chase winner Might Bite and the sensational Altior – winner of his last 19 consecutive races including two Champions Chases.

Toby has started his new career in fine style and is already having winners at a decent strike rate. He’s surely one to watch for the future.
