Magnor Glory gave the bookies some respite, in front of a huge crowd (officially 27,323), on Ladies Day at Listowel’s Harvest Festival when landing the €100,000 Ladbrokes Handicap Hurdle.

Owned by Barry Walsh and Joe Sheahan, trained in Carrigtwohill by Terence O’Brien, and only a second winner as a professional for 7lb claimer Michael O’Sullivan, the 16-1 shot arrived with a perfectly-timed challenge to land the spoils by three lengths from Fils D’oudairies, with My Mate Mozzie in third.
