COLM Murphy has a training CV that bears comparison with any of his peers, and his impressive list of Grade 1 winners in the past include such as Brave Inca, Big Zeb and Quito De La Roque, the mares Feathard Lady and Voler La Vedette, while another mare, Impervious, was a multiple Grade 2 winner, including at Cheltenham, and Megans Joy won a Grade 2 hurdle race.

Now Murphy can add Zanoosh (Harzand) to his list of mares who are winners at the highest level after this six-year-old joined a stellar list of recent winners of the Grade 1 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse, run in honour of the winner in 2019, Honeysuckle.
