Brook continues on upward curve

THE Terence O’Brien-trained Ballyadam Brook continued his massive progress when completing a spectacular four-timer in the South West Bins Novice Hurdle at Listowel yesterday.

Given a break since the Galway Festival, he stripped fit and well and, in the end, galloped his rivals into submission.

Paul Townend, cleverly, seemed to find the best of the ground, but when Ballyadam Brook made his first blunder three out he was entitled to begin to struggle, conceding weight all round.
