Undercooked Born Bright burns off her rivals Born Bright added to a Fairyhouse maiden win earlier this season when landing the Leugh Handicap Hurdle for owner/trainer Claire O’Connell at Thurles. The 10/1 shot jumped past the front-running Pebble Bleu at the penultimate flight and after asserting before the final flight, kept on well on the run-in under talented 5lb claimer James Smith to score by four and three-quarter lengths. Love Like This took the runner-up spot with Therellbguddaysyet a further two lengths adrift in third. O’Connell said, "She is a homebred and William Flood, who stands Kalanisi, is a great family friend and says that Kalanisi's are a little better being undercooked, so we had her fresh and well in herself today. "We gave her a little break after New Year's Day as she had a good bit of racing done and the drying ground helped. "She'll hopefully go back to Fairyhouse where she'll hopefully sneak into a handicap during Easter." Quotes by Tom Weekes
