Dual bumper winner Jeremys Jewel got off the mark over jumps at Cork today, as the Paul Nolan trained mare readily justified 1/2 favouritism to win the Paddy Power Onside App (Mares) Maiden Hurdle.

The six year old mare had win Wexford and Killarney bumpers in June and July respectively and today met testing ground for the first time.

Racing prominently throughout, Cooper moved Jeremys Jewel to lead at the third last and the pair stayed on to comfortably beat Little Token by four and three parts of a length.

Afterwards Nolan's brother and assistant James Nolan, reported “we think she is a good filly and the only worry today was the ground. She always moved like a nice ground filly but we had to take our chance and it was a fact-finding mission as regards ground.

“Bryan said he'd rather ride her in a good race over two miles (than today's 2m4f) and while he said she was too keen, she was just too good for them. She is a good filly and jumps very fast.

“Please God and with all things being well, she is one for the mares' novice hurdle in Cheltenham. I know we are shooting for the stars a little bit, but that is her longterm plan.”
