Jewel Of The West may be worth risking

JEWEL Of The West could be the answer to the Jet O’Carroll Memorial Novice Hurdle, on what looks a difficult programme at Listowel this afternoon.

Noel Meade’s four-year-old has to leave a disappointing performance at Galway behind, but is surely better than he looked then.

He finished sixth behind Hassanali on that occasion, never really threatening to get in a blow. Previously, however, the selection looked a smart sort when coasting to victory at Bellewstown and may be worth risking.
