Leopardstown 1.10 Jaycean £12.50 ew @ 25’1 / 22’1 firms offering 6 places – After only four runs it’s likely there is plenty more to come from Jaycean and I can see his running a career best by quite some way
Leopardstown 1.45 Bob Olinger £38.75 win @ 7’2 (NAP) – Hugely fortunate when making it 3-3 over fences at last season’s Cheltenham Festival and after flopping at Punchestown he finds himself back over hurdles for now (Grade 1-winning novice); looked sure to win the Lismullen at Navan before outstayed by Home By The Lee and he ran as though the race would bring him on; 3m shouldn’t be an issue; big shout
Leopardstown 2.20 Conflated £25 win @ 3’1 – Surprise winner of the Irish Gold Cup here in February, getting an easy time of it on the front end; was in the process of chasing home Allaho in the Ryanair before making a mistake and coming down at the penultimate fence; signed off the season with another solid run when runner-up in the Bowl; appeared to be in need of the run on reappearance at Down Royal
Leicester 2.35 Milldam £25 win @ 15’4 – Tough task in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham on British debut; placed over 2m in a maiden at Fakenham and novice at Hexham in his two races this season, coming from the rear on first occasion and soon having a big lead on second; tongue-tie returns (it was used in France, along with a hood); better may be possible in this handicap
Leopardstown 2.55 Gentlemansgame £25 win @ 7’2 – Smart novice hurdler; developed into high-class hurdler, ending last season with easy Thurles win and fine Grade 1 third at Punchestown; might need the run a little but exciting recruit; can lead
Leicester 3.10 Ile De Jersey £25 win @ 3’1 – In command before last-fence fall on chasing debut at Taunton and she readily made amends at Southwell, defying a 6lb rise; up another 4lb but looks open to plenty of further progress in this discipline
