Attempting to complete a hat-trick in the Grade 2 Lismullen Hurdle, Apple’s Jade will be the star attraction in Navan on Sunday.
And Elliott is following a familiar path with Gigginstown House Stud’s mare, using the Lismullen as an ideal prep race for that assignment. But her form tapered off in the spring, when she was a well-beaten sixth behind Espor D’allen in the Champion Hurdle, was a close third in the Grade 1 three-miler at Aintree and then finished fifth to Buveur D’Air in the Punchestown Champion Hurdle.
Power will also don the Gigginstown colours on Elliott’s Abracadbras in the Grade 3 For Auction Novice Hurdle. And the five-year-old, fourth to stable-companion Envoi Allen in the Cheltenham bumper and runner-up to Colreevy Punchestown’s Grade 1 equivalent, might be capable of building on his convincing recent hurdle debut success at Gowran Park.The Grade 2 Fortria looks a fascinating affair.
