Birthday boy Heffernan strikes again on Stormie

Stormie Outlook stuck her head out close home to land the spoils in the Rose Hotel Handicap at Killarney this evening.
The Edward O'Grady-trained filly had won on her return at Gowran last month and followed up under Seamie Heffernan.
He found a gap at the furlong pole to challenge on the Bated Breath filly and she bagged a narrow lead inside the final furlong, holding On Our Radar at bay to record a neck success at odds of 17/2.
Heffernan, who is celebrating his 52nd birthday today, said afterwards:-
"Her home work had been good and while the front runners made it a good pace, we got lucky as a gap appeared at the right time. She is improving and it was nice to get it."
