The stoutly-bred Jaffonnien has always had a career over fences mapped out for him and looks just the type to do well for Arthur Moore this season after showing ability over timber and landing a bumper. He's one to keep an eye on but the experience of BOSTONS GIFT may just prove too much for him today. Jessica Harrington's charge made a very pleasing debut over fences behind Loup Du Saubouas at Naas and looks a nice prospect. Mission Possible has been more miss than hit since turning to the bigger obstacles but would have a chance on his second to Taking Stock at Listowel in September though that was on good ground. Paddy O Dee made a bright start over fences behind Glacial Promise at Wexford but has failed to build on that and has been well beaten.
