Jessies Dream still in Hennessy Gold Cup frame

Jessies Dream remains on course to make his eagerly-anticipated seasonal debut in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Leopardstown on Sunday.

The nine-year-old has not been seen in competitive action since going down fighting in last season’s RSA Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, but Gordon Elliott’s stable star is now ready for a racecourse return.

The Co Meath handler still harbours Cheltenham Gold Cup ambitions with the Grade One-winning chaser and is excited about his return.
