Jacksonslady has been a real flag-bearer for Philip Dempsey's yard in recent seasons, and her half-sister Anotherlady did her bit for connections when recording a 33/1 victory in the Bambury Bookmakers Mares Handicap Hurdle at Fairyhouse.

The seven-year-old failed to trouble the judge in three previous maiden hurdle outings but put that right in no uncertain manner on her handicap debut.

Dempsey's son Luke sent her past Aunt Nora between the final two flights, and she drew right away in this 2m4f event to score by seven and a half lengths.

Aunt Nora weakened back to fourth in the closing stages as Killultagh Sarah and Railway Zira took second and third respectively.

Philip Dempsey said, "That was great. She's a half-sister to Jacksonslady. She's lazy at home but we did fancy her and the lads had a few quid on. I'm delighted.

"She's a very quiet filly at home. We'll stay the same route. She has a bit to go to match her half-sister but sometimes the quiet ones can improve. She's owned by the same owners that had Jacksonslady."
