Dungarven-based handler John Kiely has a tremendous record in the better bumper events and his newcomer Jet Master must be respected under Derek O'Connor. After setting what looked a suicidal pace, Noosa stayed on for third behind Double Double at Naas so potential supporters will be interested to see how the winner fares in the earlier bumper. Willie Mullins has his usual strong hand with Thurles third Laganbank and the nicely-bred Allure Of Illusion likely to be to the fore while Edward O'Grady's Milan gelding Stotan is one to keep an eye on in the market. HIRED HAND cost £220,000 as a foal but rather less when sold as a yearling. He's a half-brother to Group 1 winners on the flat in France and the USA and it would be no surprise if he had more than enough pace to see off these mainly jump-bred rivals.
