CORK on Saturday broke a four-day period without Christmas racing and provided trainer Padraig Butler with a big-race win as his De Capo Glory (9/2) landed the featured €22,000 Easyfix Handicap Hurdle for the Red Strand Syndicate and jockey Darragh Allen.

Racing with the leaders, Allen moved the 135-rated seven-year-old to dispute the lead at the second last and very late on the run-in he got the better of runner-up Rebel Early, scoring by a head.
