The seven-furlong handicap at Tipperary produced another fantastic finish with Feeling Easy just holding on at the line to take the victory.

Anthony Muholland's charge was produced with a strong run to lead inside the final furlong by Niall McCullagh. Military Hill flew home in the closing stages and the judge was called into action again to split the pair as they flashed past the post together.

The verdict was just a short-head as the 7/1 shot held on. The Bushranger filly was bouncing back to form having been unplaced in six previous outings this season.

"Her rating had dropped by 10lbs and seems just to come to herself at this time of year and won this time last year at the Curragh,” said Mulholland.

"The ground is the key to her and she won on soft again last year. Hopefully she can pick up another one before the end of the year.

"I'm going to Newmarket Sales to buy hopefully four handicappers and am always looking for customers! We bought her at Newmarket last year for £6,000 so she has won twice for us now and that's the first winner Niall has had for me."

Mulholland rode Henry Mann to win the 1990 Coral Hurdle at Cheltenham.
