GYTO Sunday Notebook Double

After just 4 starts in handicaps and only one of those over fences the best is clearly yet to come with YA KNOW YASEFF and I think she might be worth forgiving that unseat at Leicester last month. She made all in her point and looked a work in progress over hurdles. She ran her best race to date on penultimate start chasing home Dev Of Tara at Fakenham. The third San Pedro bolted up by 12 lengths next time out to boost the form. She went chasing last time but she got no further than the third fence where she unseated. She is definitely worth another chance and I think she’ll come good here. Cloudy Wednesday continues to run well having finished second again since winning at Fakenham last month. He is the obvious danger if this doesn’t come too soon. On The Platform is another one capable of a bold showing.

Barry Connell doesn’t have many horses but what he does have look of a high quality and he’ll be heading into the Cheltenham Festival in 9 days time with two exciting young novice hurdlers. He sends out DOWN THE PARK at Leopardstown this afternoon and this Walk In The Park mare could be set to open her account. I thought she ran an encouraging race on debut in a bumper at Fairyhouse before Christmas and given time since she looks set to make her mark over hurdles now. She goes up in trip which will suit and the vibes are strong surrounding her chance here. Jumping Jet has experience to draw upon having run quite well in four starts over hurdles. She will improve again so looks the danger but perhaps lacks the potential of the selection. Emily Roebling has been a negative in the betting and is pretty exposed already.
