The conditions of the Deacy Gilligan Hurdle favour Jazzaway and Thosedaysaregone, and preference is for the former to follow up her recent festival success at this venue. Willie Mullins’ mare was touched off by Mrs Milner at last year’s Galway festival and that one showed the form in a great light when winning at this year’s Cheltenham Festival. Jazzaway was off from that run until winning at Punchestown’s big meeting, in April, and followed up with another narrow success, at the summer meeting here. The six-year-old remains unexposed, won’t be inconvenienced by dropping back a couple of furlongs, and she can make the most of what looks like a good opportunity. The trip could be on the sharp side for Noble Yeats, while Bleu Berry is 10 years old.
