Getabelle scores for Cusack & Hayes

The 11/4 favourite Getabelle won the first division of the Finbarr Galvin CUPRA Handicap Hurdle. 

Brian Hayes brought the market leader from mid-division to lead before the last and she went away to beat Onefortheditch by four lengths.

Liam Cusack, who trains the six-year-old for John T Murray, said: "I felt she was in great form this week and rode her the other day. She was in a great place mentally and she ran a lovely race here the last day when beaten in a competitive mares' handicap. I thought if she produced that she would be there or thereabouts.

"I was worried when I declared her on soft, soft to heavy but the forecast was quite good and when I walked it, I thought she'd be ok. We'll see how she is before we make further plans."
