Future looking better for All Star

THE Colm Murphy trained Future All Star, patiently handled by John Cullen, foiled front-running longshot Flemross to land the €50,000 Gigginstouse Houe Midlands National in Kilbeggan last night.

The well-backed favourite Campbonnais (7/2 to 11/4), one of three runners owned by race-sponsor Michael O’Leary, whose father Ted died on Thursday, filled third spot.

Registering his second win over fences, Future All Star had headed Flemrosss when that rival made a mistake at the final fence, two lengths separating the pair at the line.
