Jetz upset the short-priced Monbeg Worldwide at Fairyhouse and looks a nice staying prospect for the future, though he'll have to do it all over again to beat the latter's stable companion SAMCRO. Gordon Elliott's charge, unbeaten in a point and three bumpers, was never out of a canter on his hurdling bow at Punchestown and is destined for much better things. Good Thyne Tara was narrowly beaten by the selection in a Listed bumper here in December and has run well over timber so she should get into contention while Half The Odds made a successful hurdling debut at Galway despite not getting the run of the race.
