	Jezki began his racing career in National Hunt Flat races beginning with an event restricted to four-year-olds at Leopardstown Racecourse on 28 January 2012. Starting at odds of 4/1 he took the lead in the closing stages and won by three quarters of a length from Ned Buntine. He followed up at the same course on 4 March, beating The Big Easy by two lengths and was then sent to England to contest the Grade I Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival ten days later. Ridden by Robbie Power he started at 12/1 and finished eighth of the twenty runner behind Champagne Fever.
