HUGHIE Morrison made a bold bid to land a third successive renewal of the Group 2 Darley Prix Kergorlay, saddling his two previous winners, Marmelo and Nearly Caught, to finish second and third. That was better than the Willie Mullins-trained Irish challenger, Renneti, who lost touch with the field three furlongs out and trailed home in ninth. But neither Mullins nor Morrison would surely have begrudged victory to the comprehensive two and a half-length winner, Holdthasigreen. This six-year-old gelding is even more of family horse than Nonza and was winning in pattern company for the first time after clocking up no less than seven listed victories.
