Verdict
Ruby Walsh has a rare ride for Gordon Elliott on board Jetstream Jack, a winning point-to-pointer and dual bumper winner who is likely to make a bold bid for a successful debut over timber. DISKO won a Punchestown bumper in February by fifteen lengths then went back there for the championship bumper at the Festival and ran a superb race to finish runner-up to Bellshill. He's only four and there's every reason to believe he'll make a cracking hurdler. Mall Dini, unbeaten between the flags, enjoyed the heavy ground when landing a Cork bumper in March and his pedigree is all about jumping. Archive, a bumper winner at Leopardstown, ran well in a Grade 2 event at Aintree before making a promising debut over timber at Punchestown in May and sets the standard of those with experience.
