'He's turned into an absolute monster' - exciting novice chaser has Ben Pauling purring as he explains big call on stable jockey

Ben Pauling feels he has a "next level" team of horses for the jumps season, led by potential star novice chasers The Jukebox Man and Handstands, who will give Ben Jones every chance of making a success of his new role as the yard's number one jockey.

Jones, 23, has leapfrogged Kielan Woods after impressing Pauling when he stepped in for Woods last season, including when he gave the trainer a fourth Cheltenham Festival winner by guiding yard favourite Shakem Up'Arry to victory in the Plate.

Pauling went agonisingly close to doubling up at Cheltenham when The Jukebox Man was just denied in the Albert Bartlett and Harry Redknapp's six-year-old is among a plethora of talents Jones can look forward to this season.
