Full Of Life wins Wexford’s opener Trainer Henry De Bromhead and jockey Darragh O’Keeffe combined to win Wexford’s opening mares beginners chase today with Full Of Life (7/4), who made all the running to score for owner Roger Kissane. A Grade 3-winner at Down Royal last October, the seven-year-old was pressed by runner-up Future Prospect in today’s race but held on well to score by a length. De Bromhead reported “she jumped brilliantly and it is good to see her back to form. She ran very well in the mares’ novice hurdle in Cheltenham when it was probably a tough ask for her, with the way we rode her. She did run well though, although was disappointing in Punchestown, so we freshened her up. “We aimed for this and it looked competitive on paper. I’m delighted with how she jumped and hopefully she will keep progressing now. She has black-type over hurdles and we’ll aim now for the (Grade 3) Kilbegnet Chase at Roscommon at the end of September, as she is a real two-miler and loves going that gallop.”
