Jabaar to be crowned champion at Ascot today

All the focus will be on Champions Day at Ascot and rightly so, but if you are looking for a value bet elsewhere, then Jabaar (nap) could fit the bill in the Catterick 3.30.

Sharp, left-handed tracks seem to suit this relatively lightly raced four-year-old, as does plenty of give in the ground, so with rain forecast at “The Bridge” he could be in his element.

The one imponderable is the distance of 12 furlongs, his first run over the trip, but on deep ground at Chester over an extended mile-and-a-quarter he has been staying on very strongly.
