HARRY Fry has described Unowhatimeanharry's stylish victory at Cheltenham on Sunday as a timely pick me up for the stable after Mick Jazz performed way below expectations in the Greatwood Hurdle.

The Seaborough handler said on his website: "Mick Jazz was struggling at the rear before he was pulled up by Sam Twiston-Davies. Initial diagnosis from the vets point to the likelihood that he is suffering from a fibrillating heart.

"So we are sending Mick Jazz straight to Newmarket where his condition will be monitored over the next few days. Hopefully the vets there can sort out his problems because on what he has shown us over the past nine months he is a horse with a big future.

More immediately I am thinking of turning out Unowhatimeanharry quickly, possibly at Newbury where we will give him a couple of entries. He escapes a penalty for Sunday's success as it was a race for conditional jockeys."

Unowhatimeanharry made a winning start for Fry's stable when running out a ready victor in the Celebrating 20 Years of Jets Open Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle.

Striking for the first time over jumps at the 12th attempt, the seven-year-old gave Liam McKenna his first winner at the headquarters of jump racing.

He brought Unowhatimeanharry with a well-timed run to score by three lengths from Shadarpour, with Scoop The Pot two and a quarter lengths away third and Fingerontheswitch fourth.

“We hoped on his form he’d go well. He was a Brightwells buy over the summer,’’ said Fry. “We did his wind and a few other bits and pieces to try to help him hopefully get his head in front.

“It’s the first time Liam has come to track, let alone ride here. It’s fantastic for him.

“He’s given him a lovely ride, he never panicked and the horse has done it nicely in the end.”

“He’s ridden seven winners in Ireland and joined us in August. He’s had four rides for us so far - two winners, a second and a third, so it’s fantastic.”

“As for the horse, there’s a couple of races at the Hennessy meeting - a Pertemps qualifier and a novices’ handicap hurdle. If he’s well I think we’ll probably try to run him at Newbury.”

“He had solid form last year without winning. He’s got his head in front now, hopefully he can keep progressing.’’
