Twilight Jet
Useful in Ireland in his younger days but has come 22lb down the weights in the space of a year for this yard; capable of popping up at this lower level but others have stronger claims.

From the connections
“It's a very sharp five at Tipperary, hence the headgear, but it kept Twilight Jet concentrated. We'd lots of dreams and aspirations after he won the Lacken but he was very sick after Ascot, then had colic surgery since and later slipped on a hard surface so needed surgery on his hock. This year was race to race so and he had a good blow afterwards. The headgear may stay on. He could go to Newbury or further afield in the coming months and may stay in training - Michael O'Callaghan, trainer.”
“Twilight Jet doesn't know when to stop. He's a very good horse. He's as tough. He got better and quicker with every run. He went to the Breeders Cup and that might have been one race too many for him. He's come back bigger and stronger this year and even quicker I think. He's the real deal - Leigh Roche, jockey.”
“The plan was to make the running but we got a nice lead into it and the race couldn't have gone any better. Twilight Jet has plenty of speed and handled the drop back to five. He liked this ground but is quite versatile in that regard - Leigh Roche, rider.”
