Bravemansgame, winner of last year\u2019s King George VI Chase and runner-up in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, could make his seasonal debut in Saturday\u2019s Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby.<\/p>\n
Bravemansgame used the race as a stepping stone to a fruitful 2022-23 campaign and trainer Paul Nicholls said the eight-year-old would be entered on Monday along with stablemate Pic D\u2019Orhy.<\/p>\n
The latter would be trying three miles for the first time after finishing last season with victory in the two-and-a-half-mile Grade One Melling Chase at Aintree\u2019s Grand National meeting.<\/p>\n
Nicholls said: \u2018I will enter them both and make a plan later in the week. It\u2019s going to be soft ground and both of them won\u2019t mind that. If I run Pic D\u2019Orhy, I can leave Bravemansgame until the Betfair Chase (November 25). All I want is one run before he goes for the King George again.\u2019<\/p>\n
Some of Nicholls\u2019 horses have needed their first runs this season but the champion trainer won the Masterson Holdings Hurdle at Cheltenham on Saturday with Blueking D\u2019Oroux and was successful yesterday with Liari and Oscars Moonshine (Wincanton) and Inthewaterside (Aintree).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Trainer Paul Nicholls said the eight-year-old King George VI Chase winner would be entered<\/p>\n
He added: \u2018One or two have needed a run but the ones I have targeted like Rubaud, Captain Teague and Blueking D\u2019Oreaux all won. I\u2019m happy where we are.\u2019<\/p>\n
Trainer Lucinda Russell is due to run dual Grade One winner Ahoy Senor in the Charlie Hall Chase after she enjoyed a fruitful afternoon at Kelso on Saturday with four winners.<\/p>\n
The one disappointment was the unplaced effort of Grand National winner Corach Rambler on his comeback run in the Edinburgh Gin Handicap Chase, but he could still head to the Betfair Chase.<\/p>\n
Russell\u2019s assistant and partner Peter Scudamore said: \u2018It was a bit of fitness. Derek (Fox, the jockey) said he got very tired. He needs a bit better ground. His best runs have been on good to soft and it was soft, heavy in places. I think he will still go to Haydock (for the Betfair Chase) but it depends on the ground.\u2019<\/p>\n
The Grade Two Jewson Old Roan Chase, the feature contest at Aintree on Sunday, was won by Daryl Jacob-ridden, 25-1 shot Jetoile to give 35-year-old trainer Ryan Potter his biggest win.<\/p>\n
After Jetoile had beaten Minella Drama a length and three-quarters, Potter said: \u2018The bookmakers might have dismissed his chances but I didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\u2018I ride him every day and he has been working unbelievably at home. He is a yard superstar and I will probably never have another one like him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jetoile won the Grade Two Jewson Old Roan Chase at Aintree on Sunday for trainer Ryan Potter<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m only in my third season training and this is extraordinary. I\u2019m nearly crying.<\/p>\n
\u2018At the start of last season, we thought he was going to be one of the top novice chasers in the country. He slipped at Cheltenham and lost his confidence and it took him until the end of the season to get it back.\u2019 Potter may now aim Jetoile at the Grade Two Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon on December 10.<\/p>\n
Japan’s Equinox, rated the best Flat horse in the world, made it five Group One wins in a row with an easy, course-record victory in Sunday’s Tenno Sho (Autumn) in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
The colt, trained by Tetsuya Kimura and ridden by Christophe Lemaire, will now head to the Japan Cup on November 26, when his opponents could include Aidan O\u2019Brien\u2019s St Leger winner Continuous.<\/p>\n
