Jagwar team looking forward to Cheltenham Gold run Jagwar is on course to make his belated reappearance in the December Gold Cup at Cheltenham on Saturday week. Festival Winner Returns After Ground Withdrawal The JP McManus-owned six-year-old won twice at Prestbury Park last season, including a Festival success in the TrustATrader Plate, and has only been beaten once in five starts over fences in all. He was due to return to the Cotswolds as a leading fancy for last month's Paddy Power Gold Cup, but was withdrawn on the eve of the prestigious contest due to deteriorating ground conditions. Guerriero Pleased With Preparation Ahead Of Return A month on, it is hoped Jagwar will return to Cheltenham for another valuable handicap, with Paddy Power making him a 4-1 joint-favourite alongside the Sam Thomas-trained Paddy Power Gold Cup runner-up Vincenzo. Josh Guerriero, who trains Jagwar in partnership with Oliver Greenall, said: "He's very well, we've just kept him ticking over since the Paddy Power." "He had a nice gallop on the grass this week and worked very well, so we're looking forward to it."
