Jezki did his Cheltenham Bumper aspirations no harm with an easy win in the concluding Killiney Bumper at Leopardstown today, maintaining his unbeaten record under Mark Fahey and for trainer Jessica Harrington.

The even money favourite quickened up well in the straight and, at the line, had two lengths to spare over his stablemate and promising newcomer The Big Easy

Afterwards Harrington said “I'm delighted with both horses. I didn't really want to run them against each other but I had no real option.

“Jezki is a possible for Cheltenham now as I don't think he did any more than a gallop there. He learned a bit more and I think a faster pace will suit him better. I'm also delighted with The Big Easy - Patrick said when they quickened the second time, he was just a bit slow to get into gear.”
