Skiffle

SKIFFLE has been given the go-ahead to run in the Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.

The three-year-old daughter of Dubawi, trained by Charlie Appleby, was last seen finishing fifth in the Oaks at Epsom and will drop in trip and class for the Group Three over nine furlongs.

Appleby said: "She's going to go to Ireland for the Snow Fairy.

"I was going to take her to Deauville (Prix de la Nonette) but I didn't fancy taking on the French Guineas and Oaks winner (La Cressonniere).

"I'd love her to get her head back in front and then I'd like to put her away for next season."
