Dobbs wins Nell Gwyn aboard outsider Esentepe Esentepe won the Group 3, Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes at 28-1 for Richard Hannon at Newmarket this afternoon. Co Wexford native Pat Dobbs took up the running aboard the daughter of Oratorio in the closing stages and held on in a tight finish to prevail by a neck from Nayarra (20-1). Richard Fahey's Lily's Angel (9-1) looked to be coming home strongest of all on the wide outside under Paul Hanagan at one point but had to settle for third in the end. Assistant trainer Richard Hannon-Junior said: "I wasn't expecting that to be fair but she's a good filly. She isn't in the Guineas but I put her in the Musidora at York and we'll just take her home. There are no plans at this stage." Fahey said of Lily's Angel: "She's run a cracker. She's just got stuck out on a limb a bit down the middle of the track but Paul was pleased with her and she's come home very well. She's done us proud for a filly that only cost us 8000 Guineas."
