FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Very sadly for all involved the Dempseys lost The Long Mile in the Grand National at the weekend, and the father and son team of Philip and Luke will be hoping for some better fortune here with CLONBURY BRIDGE. The Long Mile gave Dempsey senior a great day here at the Limerick Christmas Festival with his Tim Duggan success. The shrewd handler will be hoping for more now at this lesser level. One of the youngest in the line up as a five-year-old, Clonbury Bridge has plenty of scope for progression. Two miles five furlongs and improving ground conditions ought to be right up the Presenting gelding’s alley. Definiteadare and Get Home will be on all short-lists too.
