Isabellareine gets back on the winning trail Isabellareine from the Mervyn Torrens stable got back to her winning ways when she took the Coola Handicap Hurdle in good style in the hands of the in-form Bryan Cooper. Cooper sent his mount to the front three flights from home, the pair soon kicked clear to record an easy success over Tipper Road. Winning trainer Torrens said afterwards: “She got a dirty big cut the last day she ran and she missed out at Ballinrobe the last day [Tuesday].” “She will now mix it for the rest of the season. She is in great form and I’d nearly say she is improving with age.” The 7/2 favourite Akinspirit crashed out at the third last but the jockey Johnny Allen was quickly on his feet. Bobby Molloy has been stood for concussion following a heavy fall from Thats Our Luck.
