Bahrain Stormon course for Galway Plate

RECENTLY married David Casey gave Bahrain Storm a fine drive to land the featured Irish Open July 28 to July 31 Chase at the first stage of the Killarney festival last night.

Davy Russell tried to steal it from the front aboard Echo Bob and the tactics appeared to have a good chance of succeeding coming away from the second last.

But Casey conjured a real tune from the game Bahrain Storm, who joined issue over the final fence and then forged clear on the flat to score by three and a half lengths.
