FormscanBy Alan Magee - JAPERS JACK showed some promise in point-to-points and after being placed on his hurdle debut at Wexford, took another step forward when fifth to the highly regarded Grangeclare West in a 2m4f maiden at Navan. The Philip Fenton-trained gelding wasn’t far behind Firm Footings who subsequently went close in a maiden at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting. Walk In The Brise won a Downpatrick bumper last summer and was placed over hurdles at Tramore last month, while Quite Incredible and Hans Gruber are others to note. The latter was second to Three Stripe Life in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle and was off for a year before winning a point-to-point just before Christmas. Thunder Down Under was reappearing after an absence of over two years when pulled up lame at Down Royal and didn’t fare any better at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting.
