At The Races

JUMPING JET showed potentially high class ability in winning her bumper by 29L for trainer Barry Fitzgerald at Gowran in March and makes her debut for new connections on her first jumps start. Nicely supported on debut, she raced keenly and in the manner of a mare who could operate well at a higher level with the runner-up, third, sixth, ninth and 11th placed horses all winning races subsequently. Coole Og won on debut at Tramore in August and while she ran well in a winners' race at Listowel and is race-fit for jumps debut but might struggle to beat the selection. Mare Quimby won on bumper debut at Punchestown last October and has solid bumper form but was well held over hurdles at Listowel in September.Lady Temperance is another to have won on bumper debut, at Naas in December 2019 and returned from a 547 days absence when fifth over hurdles at Cork in August and is capable of improving from that run.

SAMS PROFILE is a potentially exciting novice chaser and will be ideally suited by the forecast rain. Grade 1-runner-up twice over hurdles, he won the Galmoy Hurdle in January and ran a fine race when third on his second chase start last November at Fairyhouse (won by Monkfish, Munster National winner Ontheropes was second). Indeed he was subsequently found to have had fractured a rib and bruised his lung when falling at Thurles nine days earlier so did very well in circumstances and is well suited by today's trip. Sixshooter was 11L behind SAMS PROFILE in the Galmoy Hurdle and while himself smart, needs to improve a little to beat the selection and makes his chase debut. The Bosses Oscar, runner-up in the Pertemps Final in March, was well held by a smart type at Listowel but is race-fit and was 150-rated over hurdles. Alfa Mix is 133 rated and might struggle to win this.

THEATRE WORLD was an unlucky loser at Listowel last month and is well suited by trip and ground today. He blundered and unseated rider when holding a winning chance at the final fence at Listowel and while 3lbs higher now and without his 7lbs claimer, he should be competitive. Tesseract was beaten 1L at Tipperary and should be nicely suited by stepping back up in trip. The Dabbler is ground-versatile having won two chases on good ground recently and while he has obvious claims from his rating, today's race is more competitive than his recent wins. Winter Escape was capable on his day but his rating has fallen in recent times and was well held here recently. Ennemi Public debuts for new connections and has place prospects on handicap chase debut.

Solerina didn't raise her son PAIRC NA NGAEL to be a winless 99-rated chaser but he looks sure to better that number. PAIRC NA NGAEL was foiled in a Limerick Christmas gamble last year and while rated just 106 over hurdles, is totally unexposed in both codes and should benefit hugely from stepping to this trip. Similarly owned Sir Bob won over hurdles at Navan in January and while rated 9lbs lower over fences with previous placed chase form, he is also long-absent. Hilltop Supreme won four consecutive handicap hurdles last season and while winless in 13 chase starts, is now rated 20lbs lower over fences. He lacks race-fitness but looks likely to win races from his rating. Father Jed had been in excellent form this year but was well beaten at Punchestown recently and would ideally prefer a sound surface. Lessofdnegativity was well beaten at Killarney but had previously run well at Sligo.

BALLYWILLIAM BOY has proven form at a slightly higher level and is ideally suited by trip and soft ground. He ran well on seasonal reappearance at Listowel last month (beating Rambranlt'jac by 16.5L) and wasn't beaten far in a useful Listed race at Limerick a fortnight ago. Perfect Attitude won despite being badly hampered and racing green on jumps debut at Clonmel and could improve for a step up to three miles. Useful in bumpers, he returned from a 179 days break to win at Clonmel and while not impressive, there is room for improvement. Rambranlt'jac is 7lbs better off with BALLYWILLIAM BOY than at Listowel but needs to improve to win. Donacheady Gale did well to win despite a 618 days absence at Ballinrobe in May but hasn't run since. Robyndeglory's laboursome Killarney maiden win was boosted by the runner-up winning a maiden hurdle subsequently but she needs to improve to win.

Davy Russell teams up with Gigginstown for the first time this season on long-absent FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU on hurdles debut. A capable bumper performer, he hasn't run since February 2020 but has previous point-to-point experience and was declared to run at Listowel on September 22, meaning he has plenty homework done at this point. Barbary Master was 7.25L behind the selection at Thurles in February 2020 and while he subsequently won a bumper and has placed form over hurdles, similarly-owned FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU has more longterm potential. Chinx Of Light showed nice ability on debut in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last March and while he too lacks race-fitness, is open to more improvement. Aikenbreakinheart would ideally prefer a longer trip while Paddys Planet had some bumper form before winning his point-to-point 183 days ago.

YOUNG FITZY is somewhat unexposed and has a light weight following a win in an ordinary Tramore maiden recently. He failed to complete in four point-to-points but has progressed over hurdles and beat a point-to-point winner in an unplaced maiden at Tramore. He is open to improvement, is rated just 102 and should cope with softer ground. Navan handicap hurdle winner Big King is a capable type who ran well in defeat on his latest starts and should run well on reappearance. Ena Baie was well enough held on her latest starts but ran two nice races last April while Andratx, a four-time winner, has useful hurdles form and likes soft. Thousand Tears won at Killarney in July and would prefer a sound surface. Endlessly debuts for new connections on his first run since May while Awkwafina was well held at Tramore in April but goes well on testing ground and was capable last term.

KILBARRY CHLOE has proven herself to be consistent and capable and ran well in a Listed bumper at Gowran recently. The form of her runner-up effort at Ballinrobe reads well with the third, fourth and fifth-placed horses winning races subsequently and having also run well in her black-type attempt at Gowran, it will take a capable type to beat her with plenty experience under her belt. That capable type could be Willie Mullins' Moon Rise Beauty, which debuts in his wife Jackie's colours. French-bred, she runs in a first-time tongue-tie and is a half-sister to a cross-country winner and is from a useful jumps pedigree. Noel Meade's The Model Kingdom is another very notable newcomer being out of a bumper winning dam who is related to some smart types. Hunting Goodwill was a useful eighth in the Landrover Bumper at Punchestown and with the form being boosted by the fifth and seventh-placed horses winning subsequently, she could get involved and is a half-sister to four winners. See A Stride won on point-to-point debut for trainer Brian Hamilton last May and having joined new connections for 47,000Gbp subsequently, could go close today. Sarahrunsforjack is a half-sister to a bumper winner and is from the family of Carlingford Lough.
