Bunk Off Early brings up Lee's double
Bunk Off Early has all the answers in Cork

Andrew Oliver's Bunk Off Early proved too strong for the favourite Rainfall Radar at the end of the extended mile maiden for three-year-olds plus in Cork.
This winner gave Billy Lee a first and last race double on the card as he won the opening contest on Leading Actress
He soon had Bunk Off Early (11/2) in the lead before the pair asserted in the home straight. They were a good four lengths clear in the last quarter of a mile and maintained the gallop to close out the race.
Rainfall Radar (7/4f) tried to chase down the winner but couldn't get on terms and went down by two and a quarter lengths. There was a gap of six and a half lengths back to Glib Speech in third at 16/1.
Bunk off Early shed his maiden tag at the seventh time of asking. On his last appearance he was third in a mile and a half maiden at Roscommon.
