Celestial Prospect beats Blue Ridge Lane at Wexford

"He had form around here, winning a hurdle under my son Conor in October.
"The ground is the key with him and when I saw the dry ground here I said we'd come back.
"Fran gave him a fantasic ride. He's riding out of his skin at the moment," so said Martin Brassil after his Celestial Prospect (6s into 3s) landed a gamble under Fran Berry in the Felim O'Rourke Is Finally Getting Married Handicap at Wexford.
The victorious Galileo gelding, formerly with Dermot Kelly and part-owned by Bernard Carroll of Numbersixvalverde fame, led over a furlong out and he stayed on well to beat Blue Ridge Lane by half a length.
Just over five and a half lengths covered the first nine home here. (DM & EM)
