The Jessica Harrington-trained Discordantly, although tailed off last time, is a hopeful nap choice in the Leopardstown Family Day Beginners Chase,
Out of his depth in the Grade 2 ‘Ten Up’ at Navan last time, when prominently ridden over three miles, he had earlier finished third to Royal Rendezvous at Thurles and was upsides Smoking Gun when crashing at the second last at Punchestown.
Back in trip, this looks a good opportunity for the six-year-old, despite the presence of Gordon Elliott’s Dortmund Park, higher rated over hurdles (he won a Grade 1 ‘novice’ at Punchestown in April 2018) but reportedly hard to train.
Punters who had their fingers burned when Power Of Pause was turned over at 30/100 in Thurles might not rush in to support him again in the bumper. But, with improvement expected, the Mullins runner should prove tough to beat.
