Paul Nicholls spoke to Racing TV to quash the doubters on his booking of Daryl Jacob, stating: Daryl Jacob takes over from Harry Cobden, which is interesting, given plenty of people thought Cobden could have sent him to win the race at an earlier stage. He seemed to be full of running when blundering at the last that day and connections may feel they’ve left one behind with that, with this a relatively quick turnaround with the King George in mind. Those two races will undoubtedly be his targets this season and it is interesting he pitches up here having had his pocket-picked in the Charlie Hall by Gentlemansgame.
Becoming one of the big names in this code, having finished second in the Gold Cup this year and landing the King George in 2022.
