2020/21 Jumps Profile - Metier

4 y bg Mastercraftsman – We’ll Go Walking (Martin)

One that Harry Fry is looking forward to in novice hurdles, and reportedly jumps well at home. He made his debut at Gowran Park in October 2018, finishing 4th in a 1m maiden, beaten 5 ¼ l behind Millswyn, . He reappeared in June 2019, finishing 4th again in a 1m 5f maiden at Navan, beaten 3l by Building bridges, then at Roscommon 2 weeks later was again 4th over 1m 2f in another maiden , beaten 1l by De Name Escapes Me. 2 weeks later he was 7th at Down Royal in a 1m 4f handicap beaten 14 ½ l by Dadzoozdart ( gave 19lb), then in August won the grandly named Irish Champions weekend maiden over 1m 1 f at Gowran Park by 6l from Bashiyr. 

In September he was 2nd in a 1m 2f handicap at Fairyhouse, 1 ¾ l behind Kiss For A Jewel (gave 1 l), then in October at Limerick was 7th in a 1m 4f listed stakes, beaten 15 ½ l behind Dadzoodart. His last run on the flat in Ireland was a 5th at Leopardstown in a 1m 4f handicap, beaten 4 ½ l behind Melburnian  (received 2lb. In November 2019 he was gelded, moved to Harry Fry in January and held a Triumph hurdle entry. That was not taken up to retain his novice status this season. He had a wind op, and made his hurdles debut at Newton Abbot at the end of October, winning a 2m 2f novice hurdle by 10 l from Oneupmanship, and should progress through the ranks this season.
