BUNNY IS HOT STUFF

Charlie Swan, who broke his duck as a trainer in Britain at Ludlow last week, added to his tally when Hot Bunny landed the Aberlady Juvenile Maiden Hurdle at Musselburgh today.

Swan, who also rode the filly, made all aboard the 5-1 chance, putting the race beyond doubt when kicking clear after the penultimate flight.

The four-year-old passed the post three and a half lengths clear of 11-10 favourite Lord Rochester.

Swan's other runner Born To Lead, ridden by JP McNamara, could only finish fourth behind Colin Parker's Trump in the Macmerry Conditional Jockeys' Selling Handicap Hurdle.

And Swan was second behind Grimaldi Lad aboard the Jonjo O'Neill-trained Lastman in the Port Seton Handicap Hurdle.

Micky Hammond's 7-2 chance denied the top-weight by a length and three quarters.

There was more Irish success when the Paul Nolan-trained Frostbitten, the 2-1 favourite, captured the Forth FM Maiden Chase.

Ridden by amateur John Cullen, the nine-year-old held off the strong challenge of A-El-Cee by a half-length.

Another Irish raider, the Sue Bramall-trained Heritage, finished fifth behind Simlet under Cullen in the Whitecraig Handicap Hurdle.
