JAGWAR could be better than a handicapper, that’s for sure. Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero’s horse won four of his five chases last season. He won the Timeform Novices’ Handicap Chase at Cheltenham’s Cotswold Chase meeting in January, a race that is often a good pointer to the future, and he won the Plate back at Cheltenham in March, over the same course and distance.

He is back over the same course and distance again today in the Support The Hunt Family Fund December Gold Cup, back at Cheltenham, on the New Course, over two miles and four and a half furlongs, the course and distance over which he has put up the two best performances of his career.
