Different distance, same result as Sprinter Sacre swept aside his rivals yet again on the second day of the John Smith's Grand National meeting at Aintree today.
He didn't jump with his usual fluency under Barry Geraghty but still proved far too strong for his rivals in the John Smith's Melling Chase on his first attempt at two and a half miles.
Bearing down on Cue Card in the home straight, he overtook the Ryanair Chaser winner easily between the last two fences and pulled clear to win hard held by four and a half lengths.
Irish raider Flemenstar's bubble was well and truly burst as he finished a further 19 lengths back in third.
Henderson said he hadn't been worried about Sprinter Sacre making the step up from two miles, over which he won the Queen Mother Champion Chase at last month's Cheltenham Festival.
There will be calls for Henderson and Sprinter Sacre's Gloucestershire-based owner Caroline Mould to step him up to three miles for a crack at the King George VI Chase on Boxing Day.
But Henderson said: "We will sit still at the moment. He gets that (two and a half miles) but he doesn't need anymore.
"He has a huge amount of ability and it is all very natural for him."
Henderson was pleased to see My Tent Or Yours regain winning form in the Rose Appeal Supports Alder Hey Top Novices' Hurdle.
Paying a huge compliment to his Festival conqueror Champagne Fever, the 4-11 favourite cruised to a 16-length victory over stablemate Forgotten Voice for his fourth success in his past six races.
Henderson said: "He ran a great race at Cheltenham in a terrific Supreme and it's nice to see a good horse come out and win like that."
My Tent Or Your's jockey AP McCoy struck again on Festival winner At Fishers Cross in the John Smith's Sefton Novices' Hurdle.
Henderson complete a treble with Triolo D'Alene in the John Smith's Topham Chase.
Tom Scudamore received a boost ahead of his ride aboard Nigel Twiston-Davies' Major Malarkey in the Grand National to day with a clear-cut win aboard Dynaste.
