Supasundae will try to prevent an Apple's Jade hat-trick in the Hatton's Grace Hurdle with Jessica Harrington giving last season's Stayers' Hurdle runner-up the green light for Sunday's showdown at Fairyhouse.

Apple's Jade is 4-6 with Paddy Power to compete the three-timer in the baroneracing.com-sponsored Grade 1 but Harrington is hoping the 2m4f trip will be right up Supasundae's street.

Harrington said on Tuesday: "Supasundae worked this morning and it is all systems go for Sunday. We really wanted to kick off his season in the Morgiana but sometimes in life you have to be sensible and we thought the sensible thing to do was take him out because of the ground.

"The two and a half miles at Fairyhouse should be perfect for him so we will start there instead. I was pleased with his work, although I'll admit he's not the type who would take the eyes out of your head with the way he works. He never does. He saves his best for the track."
