Johnny Ward's Irish tips: Golden Jewel to sparkle at Wexford

There is plenty to like about the jumps action in Ireland today.

Gordon Elliott has a strong team across the two cards, with Willie Mullins' string - as ever - not being sent to war just yet, with November closing in.

Here are three jumpers across the two cards. It's still relatively nice ground, closer to summer soft than deep winter terrain.

"He certainly needed it the last day when second on his chase debut. He will come on plenty for it. He has the National Hunt Chase written all over him this season," said Gordon Elliott about The Bosses Oscar after his pleasing chase debut at Listowel, behind a good horse. He can jump a little better and go very close here - albeit in a good maiden.

The type of horse that shows JP McManus's value to the game as they all cost the same to train, yet the seven-year-old has yet to win and has been at times costly to follow. Out of Solerina, he is certainly not as talented as that brilliant mare, but going right-handed should suit and he took the eye under a quiet ride at Tipperary. The market will be fascinating.

Golden Jewel has raced 26 times hurdling, just five chasing. The last time he ran in a chase he was sent off 11-10 favourite off his eye-catching mark and he chased home Notice To Close. He's barely run a bad race since his seasonal debut last year and he jumps well, with Bryan Cooper booked.
