Murtagh hopeful with Soul in the Bluebell Johnny Murtagh is hoping Soul Searcher can collect black type for the second time in a week when she lines-up for the Anjaal EBF Bluebell Stakes at Naas on Sunday. The daughter of Motivator performed with great credit at the Curragh last weekend when finishing second past the post behind Alveena in the Listed Brown Panther Stakes. However, she was relegated to third for causing slight interference. Despite that setback, Murtagh was delighted with her effort. "We were pleased to get her some black type last week at the Curragh and she came out of the race well, so as it's probably her last race of the year we're letting her take her chance," said Murtagh. The Aidan O'Brien-trained Hibiscus, who benefited from that demotion, renews rivalry and will joined by her stablemate Eavesdrop. Jim Bolger is also doubly-represented with Alyssum and An Cailin Orga, while Dermot Weld's Sea Swift, John Kiely's Toe The Line and Fact Or Folklore, trained by Willie McCreery, are among others with sound form. Sir Michael Stoute sends over Shall We from his Newmarket stable in search of better luck after being well-beaten in Listed races at his local course on her last two races.
