Molly set for chasing game

Former Cheltenham Champion Bumper winner Hairy Molly is likely to become a late addition to the novice-chasing ranks this season.

Injury kept the 2006 Festival hero away from the track since his return to the meeting a year later, when he did not look suited to the frenetic pace in the Brit Insurance (now the Spa Novices’ Hurdle), eventually finishing 11th.
