CONNECTIONS of Jessber’s Dream have had a change of heart. Winner a few weeks ago of the Grade 2 Weatherbys GSB Jane Seymour Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle, following her victory trainer Harry Fry indicated that she would be aimed at the Grade 1 mares hurdle at Fairyhouse which the stable won last year with Bitofapuzzle.

They also said that the six-year-old daughter of Milan would in all likelihood not even be entered for the Grade 1 race for mares at Cheltenham. However, she has in fact been given an entry and, with the likely defection of Annie Power to the Champion Hurdle, perhaps she will after all make an appearance at Prestbury Park.
