Saint Brandon supplements Cork gains in Gowran
Murtagh has Britannia aspirations for Aston Value
He had a bad draw and I was a bit worried coming here, and he was a horse that I thought would go on good to firm well. We took a chance, Ben said he struggled a bit on the ground but he did well to win. We’re delighted that he got a win. He has been improving and there is probably a bit more to come as we step him up. He’ll probably get a mile really well, on good to firm ground. We’ll see what mark he gets now. I was always hoping that he’d make into a Britannia Handicap type of horse.

Molly Hall strong in the staying handicap
She’s a deadly filly. She won twice last year and was placed a load of times, she’s very consistent,. She was off the track over 200 days and I’m delighted she went and did it, she was impressive enough. We might go over hurdles with her at some point. I was worried about the ground today but it didn’t seem to be a problem. She has the heart of a lion and keeps going. It’s great for the lads and I’m delighted to get her back to train this year.
