Jack The Giant wins The Ladbroke at Ascot

Jack The Giant slayed the bookmakers as the result of a monumental gamble in The Ladbroke at Ascot.

Everything pointed to Nicky Henderson’s gelding, who was rated 24lb lower over hurdles than fences, and punters latched on to send him off the 9-4 favourite, having been 9-2 with the sponsors at the start of the day.
