MARTIN Brassil is having a fine week: three runners, two winners, and City Island looked very good in winning the maiden hurdle under Mark Walsh on Wednesday. That was Bernardine Mulryan’s horse’s hurdling debut, just his third run under all codes, and there is no knowing how high he could go.

The Mee family are also having a week to remember: nine runners, five winners, two with Willie Mullins, two with Emmet Mullins, one with Shark Hanlon, Camlann, who may not be finished yet. Camlann ran twice at the Festival in 2015, three times in 2016 and three times again last year.

Emmet Mullins notched his two winners for the Mees from just three runners, and Sheila Lavery had a double on Tuesday, two from two, while Ger Lyons and Colin Keane teamed up for two winners, Zander on Monday and Espere on Wednesday.

And the Boardsmill Stud stallions had a fine day on Wednesday, with City Island (by Court Cave) winning the maiden hurdle and Clarcam (by Califet) winning the Plate.
