JUMPING JET is racing here from a mark of 116 and has Michael O'Sullivan's claim to aid her cause. She had Emily Roebling two lengths behind when landing a Leopardstown maiden and the latter goes earlier. Hardy Bloke has been racing in much stronger company and is another making good use of his rider's claim while Pure Sirloin, a winner over 2m4f at Navan, made a bold bid to complete a double over this trip at Leopardstown where he was staying on strongly. Nephin Beg beat a big field over 2m4f at Cork then pulled much too hard at Punchestown while Dr Val won a Punchestown handicap over the trip before a moderate effort at Thurles. Carrig Carol was engaged in the 4.00 at Limerick yesterday.
