Rookie trainer confident Jetoile can shake up Betfair Hurdle big guns
Ryan Potter is confident his stable star Jetoile can "run a big race" against some of the sport's most famous names as the rookie trainer bids to win Britain's richest handicap hurdle at Newbury on Saturday.
Potter, who has just 16 horses in his yard in his first full season training, will take on the likes of Nicky Henderson and Paul Nicholls with the talented novice hurdler in the £155,000 Betfair Hurdle.
