Irish raiders

Jezki boasts a perfect record over flights and the smaller-than-expected field casts aside concerns that he may not operate as well in numerically strong races.

His sole defeat under national hunt rules came in the bumper at this track last season, when he never really travelled.

He has won in testing conditions but would have been better suited by good ground but, as long as his hurdling holds up — he jumped poorly out of desperate ground at Fairyhouse — he should run a huge race.
