Savitha scores for Nolan

Co Wexford trainer, Paul Nolan saddled Savitha to win The Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Handicap Hurdle for owner Robert Hennelly.

Ruby Walsh settled the King's Theatre mare in mid-division, made progress travelling well approaching straight, led after last and stayed on well to win by 1 ? lengths.

Winning trainer Nolan said afterwards, "She deserved it she has been unlucky all season. She got a lovely ride and Ruby [Walsh] said she might be better over 2 ? miles, she gets caught for a bit of toe that's when stamina comes into play. We will stick to hurdling and see what comes up."
