    Aye the change of gear was very evident after the last, liked that.

    Scrub up his jumping a bit but seemed better at pace at the last as you say. Bit of a mess second and third last but pleasing enough.

      It looked incredibly sedate (to my eye) early on which wouldn’t have helped. Certainly has an engine and I’d think they’ll campaign him at 2m after that.

      • Easy enough. Find a better race for him next time before stepping up to grade 1 level.

        • Betfred are napping on the price for the Supreme at 33s

          • Happy enough with that from Irish Point.

            I had my doubts about him but can see him making up into a nice novice hurdler after that debut.

            • Affordale Fury's maiden win just got a boost with Monbeg Park winning the last.

                Kalanisi Star too, from the bumper he absolutely hammered Monbeg Park in.

                • Itswhatunitesus gave Path D’oroux’s Galway form a nice boost yesterday beating Embassy Gardens at Cork. The time of the race was also 9 seconds quicker than Irish Points win in the race previous.

                    Yes I’m trying to overcome my bloodline snobbery and allow myself to believe that a horse bred by an 89 rated brand new sire whose main achievement was to win a mid trip maiden on the flat out of a choisir dam could win the Albert Bartlett. I’m now severely chastising myself as I would have likely backed him weeks ago had I not checked his breeding.

                    That said the sire was bred by mr Bolger and trained by mr oxx....not too shabby

                      I’d say those two would want further than 2m which is why they made it more of a test and clocked a quicker time. The Irish Point race started very sedate to my eyes.

                        I looked myself before taking the odds available on betfair.
                        I soft soaped myself with the Choisir thing, by reminding myself that Australian horses run at any trip usually.
                        hopefully he runs in the monksfield

                            Be interesting how the going develops as it wouldn’t surprise me to see him pulled if it’s too good.

                            • Torrents of rain for 2 hours this morning where I live but that's 70 miles West of Newbury so no idea if they got it.

                              • Jet Powered up against Ittack Blue, he was seriously impressive in his p2p and Givega, another p2p winner, although not as impressive as Ittack Blue, but also distant relative to Quevega.

                                On paper it won't be easy for Jet Powered.
