Barnavara is expected to take a successful step into Group 3 company in the Al Shira’aa Irish EBF Jannah Rose Stakes in Naas, after being successful at listed level last time out.

Jessica Harrington’s filly performed creditably in hot company as a juvenile, made her stakes-race breakthrough in the ‘Kooyonga’ at Navan lats time and, stepping-up to a mile and a quarter for the first time, sets a decent standard in this evening’s highlight.
