Keep faith in J’y Vole

IT may be the height of folly to nap a horse who finished a remote seventh of seven finishers last time, but that’s precisely what we are going to do with J’y Vole in the Grade 2 Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park this afternoon.

Willie Mullins’ mare contested the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown at Christmas and was beaten almost 36 lengths in total and finished 15 lengths adrift of the sixth, Voy Por Ustedes.

But that tells far from the fully story and J’y Vole ran well for a lot of the three miles, before a tendency to jump away to her right down the back began to take its toll.
