He's No Molly edges out Famous Day in Cork

He's No Molly just prevailed in the I.N.H. Stallion Owners EBF Novice Hurdle at Cork after a terrific tussle with Famous Day

The pair were locked together on the run-in and flashed past the post in unison with 7/4 favourite He's No Molly getting the verdict by a nose from the 14/1 shot at the end of three miles.

Jockey Sean Flanagan said: "You'd have to be happy with him; we always knew he lacked a gear but he stayed galloping really well there and is an improving type who is a lot stronger this year.

"He had done a loads of schooling and came in of Doyle's in Wexford and he was second in a point-to-point. He has plenty of experience.

"Noel (Meade) is at Naas with a few Flat runners."
