Rogue Angel lifts spirits for emotional Mouse Morris in Fairyhouse fairytale

Sport’s ability to comfort the forlorn was seen to great effect yesterday as Rogue Angel provided venerable trainer Mouse Morris with an emotional success in the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse.

Morris has had his fair share of frustrations on the track in the last year with his string consistently performing well in major races before finding one too good.

The Cheltenham Festival provided a recent example, Alpha Des Obeaux beating all bar the exceptional Thistlecrack in the World Hurdle.
