Ideal opportunity for Jarry to come good

The flat season gets under way tomorrow and there will be plenty focus on the public gallops that many of the Ballydoyle hopefuls will be doing after racing at the Curragh.

It is a great bit of publicity and nice for the people who will attend or be watching on television but you need to be careful when making comparisons with the pre-Cheltenham gallops at Leopardstown.

Some commentators have remarked on the number cloths that Aidan O’Brien will have on his horses and that the same should be the case for the various trainers at Leopardstown to allow people to identify the horses. But you’re not comparing like with like.
