JPR One is taken to get the better of his younger rival Kalif Du Berlais and win the BetMGM Haldon Gold Cup on Friday at Exeter for a second successive year.
The Tizzard family has a long association with the race, with JPR One's trainer Joe Tizzard winning it twice as a jockey for Paul Nicholls, on Lake Kariba and Flagship Uberalles in the late 1990s.
He then had to wait until 2012 before winning it for his father, Colin, on the brilliant Cue Card, with Tizzard senior winning it again through Eldorado Allen in 2021.
Now an established trainer in his own right, Joe Tizzard has claimed the last two renewals, with Elixir De Nutz preceding JPR One last year.
The selection failed to win again last season, but that said he was still a fine third in the Tingle Creek on ground softer than ideal.
This is basically his Gold Cup, so while plenty of Tizzard's horses are improving for a run, it is unlikely he will have left much to work on here and although Kalif Du Berlais landed a Grade One in the spring, it might not have taken much winning.
