Stormy stays going to get up late
Stormy Tale beats Kudbegood and Njord

Stormy Tale powered home to get up late on and claim the James P Cunningham Electrical Handicap at Galway.
Mick Mulvany 's charge had been a winner in testing conditions at Roscommon back in June and was recording her fifth career success today.
Ben Coen was hard at work on his mount passing the three pole but she proved a willing partner and swooped on the outer in the straight.
The 10/1 shot got on top close home for a length win over Kudbegood in the extended mile contest.
Mulvany said:- "She was carrying a lot of weight for a small little filly and I thought the handicapper had her when he put her up.
"Ben said she was under pressure the whole way but she just keeps at it and is as honest as you can get. A little give in the ground helps her. Her best trip is 1m2f.
"I was toying with idea of running her in the Lartigue Hurdle last week but she would have been out of the handicap so I decided to drop back in trip for this."
