Brewel prevails in another tight finish at Gowran Brewel Hill just held on to prevail in another thrilling finish at Gowran Park this afternoon, in the first division of the 47-65 nine-furlong handicap. Shane Foley led early on the Gearoid Brouder-trained geldings before settling behind the leaders after a couple of furlongs. The 11/2 shot came to lead again two furlongs from home but was all out close home to hold Lily Of The Glen by a head. Brewel Hill was making his tenth career outing, having started off in bumpers, and had been unlucky on his latest outing at Fairyhouse when meeting traffic problems. Foley said:- “I went forward and the pace had been holding up all day so I was keen to be handy. “They took me on early and I had to give him a little chance but he kept finding and kept trying. He’s a grand horse and he stuck his neck out.” (Quotes by Alan Magee)
