Harrington hoping Jetz will behave himself this time after Naas antics

Pierce Molony Memorial Novice Chase (Listed) | 5yo+ | 2m2f | RTV

Jessica Harrington is hoping Jetz will be on his best behaviour when he bids for a third win over fences in this event named in memory of former Thurles racecourse owner and manager Pierce Molony, who died in 2015.

Winner of the Grade 3 Flyingbolt Chase at Navan this month, when he easily accounted for Benruben and Duca De Thaix – two of his rivals in Saturday's four-runner event – Jetz only got as far as the first fence on his most recent start at Naas.

Harrington said on Friday: "Jetz seems in good form but after what happened at Naas, when he was throwing his head around and got rid of Robbie [Power] at the first, we're hoping he'll behave himself.

"He's schooled well since Naas and we're using cheekpieces to try to help him concentrate."

Duca De Thaix is one of two runners for Gordon Elliott. He is also represented by Cubomania, who was pulled up in the Close Brothers Novices' Handicap Chase at Cheltenham last week.

"Duca De Thaix was well below his best at Navan last time but going back to a right-handed track will suit him – both his chase wins were going that direction in handicaps at Fairyhouse," said Elliott.

He added: "Cubomania was disappointing at Cheltenham. He seems in good form and the better ground should suit him."

Benruben, runner-up in the Flyingbolt Chase having previously run second to Ex Patriot at Thurles, represents John Nicholson.
