Scream Blue Murder set for quick return to listed company

The Tommy Stack-trained Scream Blue Murder is set for a quick return to listed company following her facile, all-the-way victory in the opening Irish Stallion Farms 2-Y-0 Maiden at rain-sodden Bellewstown last night.

On ground which had turned to ‘heavy’ following torrential rain from lunchtime, the Oratorio filly, well-beaten in the listed event won by Sky Lantern at Naas last time, stretched clear to slam Desert Of Dreams by almost five lengths.

Having watched Scream Blue Murder give Wayne Lordan his 31st success of the season, Fozzy Stack commented: “We’ve always thought a lot of this filly. She’s better than a Bellewstown filly, although she didn’t fire the last day in Naas.
