Celestial swoops to conquer in dramatic fashion

CELESTIAL LIGHT, backed from some 6-4 to 9-10, landed the wagers with an extraordinary final flourish in the Graun Hill Mares Maiden Hurdle at Tramore yesterday.

If you were offered 100-1 about her heading to the third last you would have replied in the negative, as she struggled in a remote eighth place.

Two from home it was Bluebell Line who held the call over Allaboveboard. Suddenly, however, Paddy Flood was getting some sort of response from the mare and she moved into third, still a long, long way adrift.
