SPEEDY JAG!

JP's beast should motor home after excellent return

- 

IN THE Virgin Bet River Don Novices' Hurdle run over three miles at Doncaster, COUNTRY CODE (12.55) can complete his hat-trick.

Ruth Jefferson's animal has obliged at Kelso and Newcastle since joining her from the pointing field in Ireland, and this progressive sort looks a corking each-way wager around the 8-1 ledge.

On his seasonal bow over course and distance in December, JAGWAR (1.15) ran a blinder when third off a mark of 148. Nudged up a pound, JP McManus's beast will take all the beating with that run under his belt in the Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase run over two and a half miles at Cheltenham.
