The Jessica Harrington trained Jetara is expected to run a big race in the featured Grade 2 Railway Bar Lismullen Hurdle at Navan on Monday.

A five-time winner over flights, the Walk In The Park mare comes into the race fresher than most, having had a nice campaign on the Flat this season.

Assistant Trainer Kate Harrington said: “Obviously she is race-fit from having a few runs on the Flat and is in really good order.

“Ideally we’d love to be going three miles with her but it’s a nice opportunity for her and should set her up nicely for three miles at Christmas time.

“The ground is likely to be fairly soft, and we’ll try and make it a good stamina test if all else fails.”
