Academy the answer

THE Joanna Morgan-trained Brough Academy should be worth waiting for in tonight’s bumper in Kilbeggan.

Placed in both starts, the Key Of Luck gelding looks capable of success at this level and, with Nina Carberry in the saddle for the first time, taking over from a 7lb. claimer, he should prove a tough nut to crack.

Runner-up to Golden Desert on his debut at Downpatrick, Brough Academy ran another solid race at the Galway Festival, finishing third behind Cairdin and Law Rebel, when he came home seventeen lengths clear of the fourth.
