Jett proves too hot for Grade 2 rivals Jett produced fine front-running performance to land the Devenish Chase in good style at Fairyhouse this afternoon. Robbie Power always had the Flemensfirth gelding to the fore in the two-and-a-half mile contest and he had a willing partner when push came to shove down the straight. The Storyteller tried to throw down a challenge at the third last but Jett responded well and stayed on strongly from the last to record a four-and-three-quarter length win at odds of 7/1. “We've finally got the key to him. He didn't get hassled going around there,” said Harrington. “He looks after himself jumping and he's probably more of a three-mile horse. I'll probably keep him going during the summer now as he loves that good ground. “Even though he's a great big horse he loves that ground, like the whole family. He's a half-brother to Jezki, Jered, Jenari and Jetson. “He's not in any of the graded races at Punchestown but he's in a two-and-a-half mile handicap. “In big handicaps he's too careful a jumper to hold his own. Even there going to the last fence first time around he put in a short one, he's careful. “Robbie said he had a lot in hand and he will stay three miles. If he'd go quick enough I'd run him in the Galway Plate but I'm not sure he'd like it. He might get a bit of confidence now.”
