Brady heads to Stratford Oliver Brady will attempt to get the Irish off to the best possible start this week when he saddles Imperial Shabra in the Ianwilliams.com Handicap Hurdle at Stratford this afternoon. The charismatic trainer is sure to cause quite a stir if the the 6-y-o gelding manages a victory and it will be far from a surprise is he does. Imperial Shabra showed improved form when well backed (20/1 to 10/1) at Naas last Wednesday, finishing less than eight lengths off the winner.
