Point winner won a Wexford bumper last year; looked like the winner when fallling at the last on hurdles debut over 2m6f here last October; was then narrowly beaten by subsequent Grade 1 winner I'll Sort That in a Navan Grade 3 over 2m; will be difficult to beat if repeating that form on return.

Jukebox Jury gelding cost 45,000euros as a foal and 105,000euros as a 3yo; third foal; dam placed in bumper/hurdles/chases, half-sister to Cork Grand National winner Mattock Ranger; point-to-point winner showed good level of form in bumpers last season, runner-up here and at Fairyhouse before scoring at Wexford in March, still looking a work in progress; likely major player switched to hurdles.

0-4 in bumpers but 2-3 over hurdles and wasn't seen to best effect in the defeat, when held up last in a Grade 2 at Navan that Doctor Steinberg dominated up front; it was over 2m that he accounted for the smart Skylight Hustle at Gowran and yet the further he went the better he looked in winning the 3m Grade 2 River Don at Doncaster (soft); his trainer has had horses run well in this before; major player.
