Brosna Shines brightest again Brosna Shine (10/3 — 9/4) licked the paint throughout to comfortably win the concluding Coolmore N.H. Sires Hurricane Lane Irish EBF Mares INH Flat Race (Listed Race) over two miles at Navan. Sonny Carey's victor finished third in a Goffs Defender Bumper on debut before scoring quite impressively in a Fairyhouse bumper. She was sent off favourite for a Grade 2 Dublin Racing Festival bumper; however, she failed to fire. Her best form now comes on nicer ground, and she never looked in danger throughout this contest under Pa King. The Tony Kilduff-owned daughter of No Risk At All kept on well to beat 10/11 favourite Sarahs Lawn by a length. Ellis ran a massively encouraging race, finishing third at 50/1, beaten by a further length and a half. Sonny Carey said: "She's a lovely mare, a proper good mare. She's beautiful - my wife and I bought her as a store, so she is special to us. "She will go on anything (ground) - she just wasn't right at the DRF, and we gave her a break after it. "She has done very little (at home) and will go hurdling now. We just wanted to get that into her today. "Oldschool Outlaw won this last year, and we might go along the same route as her. Hopefully, she turns out as good as her. "We've had a great weekend with a second (Eastern Whisper) in Cheltenham yesterday in the Listed bumper." Additional reporting by Michael Graham.
