Harry Fry believes the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Mares Novice Hurdle Championship Final at Fairyhouse is the ideal race for Jessber's Dream.

Having claimed the Grade One prize 12 months ago with Bitofapuzzle, the Seaborough handler will bid to repeat the trick with the improving six-year-old on Easter Sunday.

In what has been a relatively busy campaign, the former point-to-point winner has posted three victories from five starts over hurdles this season, including last time out in a Grade Two contest at Sandown.

He said: "Jessber's Dream has been very good at home since her last win and I'm really looking forward to taking her over to Ireland.

"She can get quite hot headed, but she seems to have taking her travelling well this season.

"I think the two-and-half-mile trip will be perfect for her and she will get the cut in the ground she wants. She is progressing with her racing."

Jessber's Dream could be joined in Ireland by fellow novice hurdler American after he sidestepped an outing in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival on Friday.

Although sidelined for much of the campaign through injury, the six-year-old built on a solid debut effort at Aintree when defeating subsequent Grade Two winner Label Des Obeaux on his second and most recent start at Ascot in November.

Fry added: "He could go to Fairyhouse on Easter Sunday for a two-and-a-half-mile Grade Two novice hurdle."
