Stable jockey Nico de Boinville, who has been sidelined due to injury, is set to return to the saddle, with trainer Nicky Henderson announcing his clearance to ride.

Nico de Boinville, one of racing's most talented jockeys, is set to make a comeback to the sport following his injuries sustained on April 21. The announcement comes after a positive update from trainer Nicky Henderson in July, confirming that de Boinville is now ready to ride.

De Boinville's return was delayed due to broken ribs and neck injuries, causing him to miss out on big rides on horses like Jonbon, Constitution Hill, and Lulamba. During his absence, James Bowen stepped up to fill in admirably, securing a Grade 1 win in Ireland.

Henderson has expressed his intention to continue using Bowen, as well as other young riders like Paddy Hanlon, even with de Boinville's return. Hanlon, who fits in well with the team, has secured a slot for the season due to his experience.

In addition to Bowen and Hanlon, Henderson has two more promising young jockeys in Dan Williams and Henry Main. Both Williams and Main have claimed seven wins and are considered very good. Freddie Gordon, another young rider in the stable, is nearing the end of his claim as a jockey.

The Racing Post has reported that Henderson's team is now well-equipped for the upcoming season, with these young thugs adding strength to the department.

Meanwhile, de Boinville's first ride back has yet to be confirmed. As for Jonbon, who de Boinville missed out on during his recovery, potential options include a bid for the King George.

Nico de Boinville's return is a welcome addition to the racing scene, as he offers the best free bets all in one place, making him a popular choice among punters. With a strong team and a talented rider back in the saddle, Henderson's stable is set to make a significant impact in the 2022/2023 racing season.
