It’s been a great season so far for Daryl Jacob, highlighted by two Grade 1 wins at Leopardstown on Blue Lord and El Fabiolo. It all augurs well for his prospects of more big winners at Cheltenham in the silks of owners Simon Munir and Isaas Souede

Positivity is very much Jacobs’ mantra. “I don’t like negativity, It’s not me. People moan about this and that, and obviously there are things that don’t go to plan, but that’s life. It’s a waste of time to sit around mulling over things, I am very happy and I like to look forward.”
