Enright completes Cork double on Murphy's Mystic Malina Tralee jockey Phillip Enright completed a double on the card when partnering the Donie Murphy trained Mystic Malina to win the Social Packs For The Easter Festival Handicap Hurdle at Cork. Nicely backed from 25/1 into 10/1, the mare travelled strongly at the back of the field before being coming through to tack onto the heels of the leaders entering the home straight. Heading leader Toor Khov at the penultimate flight, Mystic Malina stayed on well from the back of the last to win by three-and-a-half lengths. Donie Murphy said: “She struggled in Naas the last day and Phillip just pulled her up in time. He said that was the saving of her today. He looked after her “She needs nice ground and she put up a nice performance there. “From a long way out I thought she was travelling and jumping very well, she was really enjoying it. “It was an ordinary race she won in Clonmel and we were a bit disappointed in Naas but in fairness Phillip said ‘don’t worry about it’ as she needs a bit of nice ground. I have to give him the credit. “I might go to Fairyhouse with her, there is a three-mile novice handicap there and she might get into that now. “She hasn’t ran that often. That’s only her fourth run over hurdles and she’s won two races now.” Additional reporting by Gary Carson.
