Jessica Harrington trains Irish SmartPlay Jenari
"He [Jenari] developed into a smart bumper performer on good ground last term, finishing third in a Grade 1 at the Punchestown Festival, and has progressed in chunks over hurdles so far"
There's an interesting card at Leopardstown to get stuck into today and Timeform's Irish team have come up with three more win bets.....
The two-mile handicap hurdle at 15:00 looks a competitive affair at first glance, but on closer inspection Jenari really does stand out on his debut in this sphere. He developed into a smart bumper performer on good ground last term, finishing third in a Grade 1 at the Punchestown Festival, and has progressed in chunks over hurdles so far, chasing home a subsequent Grade 2 winner in a novice at Navan last time. His initial mark looks fair and it's reasonable to expect plenty of improvement now he's back on a sound surface. He represents a yard who have come back to form with a bang of late as well.
Donnas Palm battled well to win a Grade 2 at Navan last time but the balance of his form suggests he isn't the force of old, and he looks vulnerable to the strong-travelling Slieveardagh in the novice chase at 15:30. Slieveardagh has form on a par with Donnas Palm over fences, a good second to Bog Warrior last time, and should be ideally suited by today's conditions, while Barry Geraghty is back in the saddle.
The 21-furlong handicap chase half an hour later contains quite a few in-form sorts. Montan comes here at the top of his game and Mister First won by a wide margin at Naas last time, but it's Colbert Station who looks to have the most compelling credentials. He won a seventeen furlong maiden chase in good style here in January and looks open to plenty of improvement upped in trip for his handicap debut over the larger obstacles. The booking of Ruby Walsh is a further plus, making Colbert Station a confident selection.
