Hurricane Fly has sealed his place as the 'King of Leopardstown' with another victory over young whipper-snapper Jezki today in the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown at 5/6.
The Fly,who is almost 11, was neck and neck with Jezki coming over the last and just got up to secure his 21st Grade One and fourth Ryanair title.
Plinth made all the early running but the class came to the top as Jezki moved up the field and Hurricane Fly came up on the outside to go nose-to-nose with AP McCoy heading for the post.
What a finish:
