Jesse Evans
Five-time hurdle winner who is 1-9 over fences, though was runner-up in last summer's Galway Plate; all the sharper for his comeback run when beaten 4l in a 2m4f Grade 3 at Killarney three weeks ago and he's a player on these terms.

From the connections
“Jesse Evans was foot perfect the whole way round, indeed the mistake he made at Killarney is the only one he has ever made and it probably did him good. He is a good ground horse and my dream for him would be to come back next year for the Galway Plate - Noel Meade, trainer”
“Jesse Evans is a nice horse and it was nice to see him quicken up the way he did. He likes goodish ground and we would have to think of a race like the Morgiana Hurdle for him now - Noel Meade, trainer.”
“Jesse Evans did not do a lot when he got there, he would prefer a good gallop. He may well turn up in the Naas November Handicap - Noel Meade, trainer.”
“He's now won his bumper and maiden hurdle so we'll give him a little time before he goes for something else. He jumps quick. I don't know how he will handle heavy ground but Sean said that was borderline quick enough for him. He'll go for a winners' race somewhere - Noel Meade, trainer”
“The horse travelled the whole way and picked up lovely; he is a smart horse and I was quite comfortable I would pass the leader and had plenty of horse under me - rider Mark O'Hare.”
