Harry Redknapp was over the moon… and now it’s straight to Cheltenham with The Jukebox Man

THE JUKEBOX MAN delivered us the perfect late Christmas present at Kempton. We were over the moon with him after his win in the Kauto Star Novice Chase. Leader In The Park took the opening handicap and to have a double on King George day really meant a hell of a lot.

The Jukebox Man just keeps impressing us and he has come out of the race bright as a button. He’s a bit stiff and sore in his heels but it’s nothing significant and he’s taken the race very well.
His jumping was so economical and he is really proving his versatility now. I think he came into this season pigeon-holed as a real stayer that needed soft ground. And now his two wins at Newbury and Kempton have proved how adaptable he is — the sky really is the limit.
We dropped him in a bit at Kempton stepping back up to three miles and he was always cruising. To be honest, there was never a true moment of worry. I was over the moon for our jockey Ben Jones, too. With any new job there is always a bit of scrutiny and added pressure, especially when you are riding the big names on the big day.
