Meet the new trainer taking on Willie Mullins - with a little bit of help from AP McCoy and some Coolmore connections
New trainer Faye Bramley is preparing to take on the firepower of Willie Mullins in Saturday’s Scottish Grand National at Ayr.
Based at AP McCoy’s pre-training yard in Lambourn, Bramley has only sent out five runners in the early stages of her training career, but has entered new recruit Walking On Air in the £200,000 contest this weekend.
McCoy is not Bramley's only big-name connection as Walking On Air is owned by illustrious names: Doreen Tabor, wife of Coolmore owner Michael Tabor, Justin Carthy, who owned Chronicle Bookmakers along with Celtic-owning financier Dermot Desmond, and the wife of Coolmore Stud's Paul Shanahan.
