Jessica Harrington is excited to be taking Jack Naylor over to France next weekend for the Prix Marcel Boussac.

The bargain-buy filly has been one of the success stories of the summer in Ireland, winning three of her five starts and her form has been continuously franked.

She beat subsequent May Hill winner Agnes Stewart in the Silver Flash Stakes and then carried a 5lb penalty to victory in a Listed race at the Curragh.

"The plan is still to take her to France next weekend," said Harrington of her €10,500 buy.

"Every single bit of her form has worked out well.

"Whether she's the best filly in Ireland is not for me to say and nobody else will because she is trained by me! All I know is that she is certainly one of the best, I won't worry about it, though.

"To win a Listed race with a 5lb penalty really takes some doing, but she was always going to win.
