Step up in trip sees Nana Jet in for Collins Racing over three-miles for the first time, the Cian Collins trained Jetaway Nana appreciated the stamina test when keeping on late to win the Brendan Cullimore Electrical Mares Maiden Hurdle at Wexford. Having reached the frame on her first two starts over flights, the five-year-old failed to progress as expected when unable to improve on those performances in subsequent outings. Tracking the leaders under Eoin Staples, the 2/1f moved second with a circuit to race. As leader Prized Jet gave way after three out, Ar Aghaidh came through to lead entering the straight. Jetaway Nana threw down a strong challenge from two out but the leader found extra to kick again approaching the last. Gradually closing the gap, Jetaway Nana led on the run-in, keeping on well to win by one-and-three-quarter lengths. Cian Collins said: "She deserved that, she's consistent. On ratings she was well entitled to win it, but I didn't think she was running to her rating to be honest. I thought 100 was a good bit too high for her. The 7lb off her back was a great help. "She is a difficult ride and I think the run on Monday probably just took the freshness out of her. She was easier to handle today and got the job done thank God. "The full three miles, she'd want all of that and she'd probably stay further too. Her next run will be a minimum of three miles anyway. She'll probably go for a handicap or if there was a mares' novice somewhere she'd go there. She'll jump a fence as well. "She came from the Doyle's and Mark Hatton, who is a friend of Eamonn Doyle, owns her. I think it's his first horse and it's his first time to see her run so he picked a good day. "She picked up a €7,500 bonus today as well and it's a great touch, it adds to the occasion." Additional reporting by Donal Murphy.
