The experienced, 130-rated Jetara captured the listed William Hill Epic Value Mares Novice Hurdle at Punchestown for Jessica Harrington and Seán O’Keeffe.

Gerry McGrath’s home-bred Walk In The Park mare powered clear on the run-in to slam A Penny A Hundred by six lengths, prompting her trainer to explain:  “She’s a second season novice, she’s hardy now and her experience stood to her.”
