HAIRY MOLLY LANDS ANOTHER CHAMPION BUMPER FOR IRELAND

Hairy Molly became the 11th Irish-trained winner in 14 runnings of the Weatherbys Champion Bumper when coming a head in front of Pressgang under Paul Carberry.

The winner is trained by Joe Crowley, father-in-law of Aidan O’Brien, who was not at Cheltenham today as he feels he is “too old for the hustle and bustle.”

Assistant trainer Damien Byrne commented on the 33/1 winner: “Paul has given him a tremendous ride and this is just great.

“We fancied him a bit today as he does stay well and we thought the track would suit him.

“He is a three-mile chaser in the making and is a lovely horse.

“The syndicate that owns him is made up of four lads from Listowel. He is their first ever horse and was expensive enough, but you couldn’t put a price on him now, could you">1 HAIRY MOLLY (IRE) (F T B Syndicate) Joseph Crowley IRE 6-11-05 Paul Carberry 33/1
