Jumbos Away looks set for take-off

IT can pay to follow the fast improving Jumbos Away in the second semi-final of the Droopys Stud A4 Stakes at Youghal tonight.

A 29.69 winner here last month, Liam Corcoran’s runner-followed up in terrific style last week, recording a runaway 29.17 success.

Jumbos Away has scope for further improvement and can bag a hat-trick at the main expense of 29.22 heat winner Reagrove Scooby.

The opening semi-final can go to the in-form and well drawn Caseys Stoner.

Trained by John Linehan, Caseys Stoner recovered from a moderate start to beat Tom And Derry by the narrowest of margins in 29.31 last week and can go on improving.

Owen McKenna’s Chestnut Podge is one to note in heat two of the Ballintore Brave A6 Stakes. This fellow was prominent for a long way before finishing fifth on his debut at Clonmel and should come on for the experience.
