Lass just holds Lady

Edmondstown Lass may have tied up late but she did enough to hold off the late run of Headford Lady by a short head in the Dawn Flavoured Milk Handicap.

Gary Carroll did the steering on the winner and his strength saw her just hang on from the morning gamble, Headford Lady (33/1 into single figures before easing back to 10/1 on track).

Pat Flynn trains the winner and he said: "That's my first winner for Gerry (Flannery). He is from Tulsk in County Roscommon. I have a lovely Acclamation filly for him as well.

"This one (Edmondstown Lass) is a lovely filly. I said to Gerry that if she could get her nose in front today that she'd win again. She still has to strengthen up and she will do that."

Meanwhile the favourite, Rolling Steel (both Charles Byrnes and Paul Townend bidding for doubles) refused to race.
