Nina Carberry was delighted Musselburgh’s meeting was given the go-ahead after gaining a first course success on Rightful Ruler in the Country Refreshments Lady Riders’ Handicap Hurdle.
Noel Wilson’s 4-1 shot was confidently ridden and was produced to lead on the approach to the final flight.
He then drew away to beat Seize by a comfortable three and a half lengths.
Carberry, who was having her fourth ride at Musselburgh, said: “I flew over from Dublin this morning.
“The plane was a bit shaky in the high winds but it has all been worth it now.”
