Bahrain storms home to land gamble

BACK-IN-FORM Pat Flynn saddled Bahrain Storm to land a gamble in the E.P.S. Mallow Hurdle at Cork last night.

Supported from 4/1 to 5/2 joint-favouritism, the versatile six-year-old tracked the leaders until Davy Russell asked him to squeeze through on this inside of Next Week at the third last flight.

In front before the next, Bahrain Storm was soon in command and stretched clear to triumph by four and a half lengths. The winner will have a choice of targets at Galway.
