He is one of the most fancied horses at the 2025 Cheltenham Festival
Sir Gino will take five on older rivals as he steps into open company for the first time over fences in the Grade Two William Hill Game Spirit Chase at Newbury on Saturday.
However, the hot favourite for Arkle glory at Cheltenham will face a stiff test at Newbury, with the opposition headed by Alan King’s veteran Edwardstone, who made all to win unchallenged in this contest 12 months ago. JPR One brings elite-level form to the table after finishing third behind Sir Gino’s stablemate Jonbon in the Tingle Creek at Sandown, where the reopposing Master Chewy and Edwardstone both fell.
Paul Nicholls has claimed the race named after his former Gold Cup hero a record 10 times and will be doubly represented this term through Bravemansgame and Hitman.
