Love Bird wins at second time of asking

David Wachman's Love Bird landed the concluding Ivan Denisovich Maiden under Wayne Lordan for John Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith.

The three-year-old daughter of Pivotal ran an encouraging race on her first outing back at Leopardstown and appreciated conditions more so today according to the winning trainer.

"The soft ground and the reduced trip help and we will look for a listed race and some black type for here now."
