- Cloudy Morning continues love affair with Wexford

Cloudy Morning continues love affair with Wexford
Cloudy Morning, right, prevails under Liam Quinlan

Cloudy Morning just loves Wexford and brought up his fourth course victory in the Vinegar Hill Handicap Hurdle.
Liam Quinlan 's 7lb claim was certainly needed as Cloudy Morning was headed on the run-in by Goodnightgodbless but rallied to good effect to edge ahead by a short head.
He was returned the 3/1 favourite from the 8/1 runner-up. An Fraoch Mor finished third at 10/1, a further two and a half lengths away.
The in-form 11-year-old was following up on a handicap chase victory at this track earlier this month.
Trainer Declan Queally said: "We have been lucky this week as we've been involved in two photo finishes and have come out the right side of both. We've had plenty of seconds this year so I'm delighted to get the couple of winners.
"He is a grand little horse and Liam gave him a brilliant ride. He was very tough. I forgot to tell Liam beforehand to go a nice gallop on him and, as it turned out, he probably didn't go quick enough but he won anyway so I'm delighted.
"We said we'd try and bounce out and make all.
"We will enter him in the three mile seven handicap chase at Punchestown next week. It's 0-145 and he'd have nine stone eleven in it. He is from a good, staying family and so he should stay. We'll have a crack at that."
