Ado McGuinness is well represented with three horses in the seven-furlong handicap worth €22,000 in Dundalk on Wednesday and is looking forward to Hodd's Girl running on her way to another crack at the All-Weather Championship at Newcastle.

This seven-time winner stayed on for third in the valuable All-Weather Fillies' And Mares' Championships Conditions Stakes at Gosforth Park on Good Friday, and has since earned black-type when third in Listed company at Dundalk last month.

McGuinness said: "She'll run and she was very unlucky the last day (in second this month) - I Am Superman a Group 1 horse back to a handicap. He beat her and she ran a cracker. If he wasn't there, she was a good winner of the race.

"She's like a cash machine, she is picking up cheques every day she runs. She is a super filly to have.

"She has black-type and I think they are going to cover her in the spring.

"The All Weather Championships (in Britain) is the plan. We've a couple we are going to aim at that and she will definitely be one of them.

"She ran really well in it last year when third. Hopefully, we will get her back there again.

"She will be covered either before or after the all-weather and will stay in training for as long as she can."

McGuinness also saddles Apache Outlaw and Hightimeyouwon in Wednesday's feature.
