Besh Bash for Jacob

Daryl Jacob partnered his first winner at Sandown as he executed a positive ride aboard Beshabar in the EBF Sunderlands “National Hunt” Novices’ Handicap Hurdle Final.

The jockey had experienced 14 fruitless mounts at the Esher venue in recent years, but that all changed as the Nick Williams-trained 9-1 shot made the most of his handy position to collect by a length.
