Massini's Trap makes Nash's trip worthwhile
Curragh trainer James Nash has been a fairly frequent visitor to Britain in recent weeks, having saddled half a dozen in the last fortnight. His trip to Aintree certainly proved worthwhile, as 13-year-old Your Busy's second in the veterans' chase was followed by a five-length win for Massini's Trap in the 2m4f handicap hurdle.
