Reports in which Man With Van (IRE) was mentioned
Plenty of life in veteran Brian still
Most of the chat prior to the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Hurdle at Navan concerned market-leaders Nicole's Milan and Rightdownthemiddle. However, out on the track 12/1 chance (from 16s) Mad Brian completely stole the show with an easy win under Danny Hand. Sun 19th Feb
Review downpatrick 22nd Mar

Riverside City is the Ulster National hero
After his one, two in the 2.40, Gordon Elliott struck for the big prize at Downpatrick, when the J P McManus colours were carried to victory for the second time on the day, in the Toals Bookmakers Ulster Grand National E.B.F. Handicap Chase, courtesy of Riverside City. Sun 22nd Mar
Review fairyhouse 1st Feb
Lion Na Bearnai took the honours for the first time since his famous victory in the Irish Grand National nearly two years ago when he landed the feature race back at FairyhouseSat 01st Feb
Crawfords double up with 22's
Twentytwo's Taken completed a double on the afternoon for the Crawford brothers, Steven and Stuart, swooping late to land the mares' bumper at Fairyhouse in fine style. Sat 01st Feb
Van is the Man for Crawfords
Steven Crawford, who rode out his claim at Leopardstown last Saturday aboard Mister Nibbles, successfully teamed up again with his brother Stuart seven days later as Man With Van justified good support in the 2m4f rated hurdle at Fairyhouse. Sat 01st Feb
Crawford the Man With Van
Local trainer Stuart Crawford’s Man With Van was popular with punters as weight of money forced his price down to 6/4f on the off. He motored home in good style with Crawford’s brother Steven doing the steering. Thu 26th Dec
After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 1st Feb, 2014 (1st) 
There were a few unknowns coming here, the heavy ground and the fact that he'd only won a maiden hurdle. I'm thrilled especially as he was badly hampered by the faller three out. He might be eight but he's really like a big, green five-year-old and he should keep improving. We have no concrete plans but he'll stay over hurdles this season, and we might look for a race across the water in six to eight weeks. He's a real chaser in the making.

He's a very nice horse. He's late maturing, he won his point-to-point very impressively in the spring and summered well. I thought he would win when he fell in Maralin. He got a nice run in Navan. I didn't know how well he would take to hurdles.
