Cass Bligh a smooth winner of novice hurdle

Cass Bligh followed up a couple of second placings with a win in the www.clonmelraces.ie Novice Hurdle under Ruby Walsh.

The 13/8 favourite stretched away from Anshan Dreams from before the last to win by five and a half lengths.

Winning trainer Adrian Murray said: "He'll step up to two and a half miles now. He has a very good cruising speed but I don't know where he'll go next, we'll just wait and see what the handicapper does with him."
