Gelding by Jet Away who was an 11l third in an Irish point for 4yos in May (3m, yielding to soft); no surprise if he were to go well on stable/bumper debut.

15th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who bounced back quickly from very disappointing handicap debut when very close second to Eloi Du Puy over C&D (soft) last month; has to take a 3lb rise on the chin but can make further progress. |
9/1 |

10th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Looked a good prospect when going in at the first time of asking over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f) in December but he was pulled up on his handicap debut at Newcastle (2m4f) last month; he needs to get back on track. |

Won on debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) last November and another good run when third in a warm little race at Aintree (2m1f, soft) on Boxing Day; solid claims under a 7lb penalty. |

1st Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Delivered on earlier hurdling promise when easily justifying short odds in Southwell maiden (2m, heavy) in April; unraced on ground quicker than good to soft but, if he handles today's quicker conditions, has a big role to play. |
5/6 |

4th Apr 2024 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Close up in a pair of bumpers before posting a fairly useful effort on his hurdling debut at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy); sent off a shade of odds-on to go one better at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) and was pushed along but led narrowly when falling two out; this looks an easier race than that one. |

Won a 4yo point in Ireland in December 2022 (3m, yielding); stable has a good record in bumpers but this one was withdrawn twice in October on account of soft/heavy ground.

18th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Irish point winner; finished third of four in a bumper and novice hurdle at Catterick (1m7f, heavy) in his two runs under rules; was beaten 11l last time but he may not have been suited by the heavy ground and that form has been boosted by the winner since; open to progress back from a break and he's in the mix for yard that has won the last three runnings. |

5th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Poor maiden who's been tried over various trips and in two forms of headgear since starting his career in bumpers; has done a lot of his racing on soft ground, so any rain would likely suit, but he's hard to recommend either way. |
16/1 |

8th 5 (12) |
1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Half his ten starts were on turf but all those were on soft and his form dropped off markedly on last two outings; recent headgear is removed; 9lb lower than on handicap debut and the ground should be different. |
20/1 |

12th 11 (10) |
27th May 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Low-mileage 5yo who saw his run of good form come to an end when tenth in 7f Catterick handicap four days ago; needs to get back on track. |

Verdict
Not a great deal to go on here and although Iorangi De L’Isle is respected, the form of his point win is nothing special so it may pay to side with HIGHLANDS LEGACY who was a creditable second in what looked a fair bumper at Ffos Las on his debut.[Colin Russell]
