Paul Nolan and jockey Bryan Cooper took the opening race of the 2020 Dublin Racing Festival when claiming The Nathaniel Lacy & Partners Solicitors ‘€50,000 Cheltenham Bonus For Stable Staff’ Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) over 2 miles and six furlongs.
The winner, who defeated Andy Dufresne at Navan in December, had two-lengths to spare over the front-running Cobbler’s Way (9/1), with Longhouse Poet (6/1) a further head behind in third.
🇮🇪 What a start to the Dublin Racing Festival!
🏆 A big victory for @nolan_racing & @92bryan92 as Latest Exhibition digs deep to land the opening G1 on the card @LeopardstownRC to make it 3-4 over hurdles this season!
