Potter wants Betfair Hurdle magic for Tolworth second Jetoile
Jetoile ran his heart out for second in the Tolworth Hurdle behind Constitution Hill and trainer Ryan Potter is hoping he can go one better in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury in February.
A buoyant Ryan Potter is targeting the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury with Jetoile after finishing a game runner-up behind talented novice Constitution Hill on Saturday in the Tolworth Hurdle.
Following modest wins at Chepstow and Leicester, the seven-year-old became Potter's first Grade 1 runner when racing in the Sandown feature.
And while he couldn't live with Nicky Henderson's scorching winner, who is now favourite for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham, Potter was rightly proud of his stable star's showing.
Potter is champing at the bit to see what Jetoile can do next term when sent over timber.
"I'd be lying if I said I didn't have butterflies this morning - it's unbelievable to have a graded runner"
