Paddy Power next for Jack The Bus

Peter Casey was delighted with Jack The Bus after his comeback run in the Troytown Chase at Navan yesterday.

The 11-year-old won the valuable handicap last season but had been off the track since.

He ended up finishing seventh behind Groody Hill and will now run in the Paddy Power Handicap at Leopardstown over Christmas.

"He ran a great race. We'll probably head to Leopardstown with him," said Casey.

"He'd been off a year and he's great this morning. He's been down in the spa for an hour and there's not a bother on him.

"He'll improve a lot from that. He was getting into the race going down the back and Robbie (Power) thought he'd win but then he took a blow, which he was entitled to do.

"The Paddy Power at Christmas is what we're thinking."
