Hairy Molly just held Pressgang to lift the Weatherbys Champion Bumper and give the Irish their seventh winner of the Cheltenham Festival.

Paul Carberry, completing a first and last race double, took the 33-1 shot to the front over two furlongs out.

Joseph Crowley's charge kept on well to deny the Paul Webber-trained Pressgang (20-1) by a head, with Kicks For Free (5-1) third, a length and three-quarters away.

"I didn't know an awful lot about the horse. I was told that he stayed very well so I had him up in the van throughout,'' Carberry said.

"I had a great position the whole way and going down the hill I had a good gap and then he just kept finding for me up the hill.

"They came to me but he had enough left and I always thought I would hold them.

"He picked up again and we got there just in time.

"I've started off well and hopefully I'll get a few more before the end of the week. It's great to get two winners.''
