Get off to a festival Flyer with Moscow

TWO Cheltenham heroes, Moscow Flyer and Back In Front, can light up the opening stage of the Punchestown Festival this afternoon.

The brilliant Moscow Flyer has to be the choice to win the featured BMW ’Chase. Jessica Harrington’s nine-year-old was hugely impressive in landing the two mile Champion ’Chase at Cheltenham and only if he hits the deck or performs well below par can one envisage him meeting defeat.

Moscow Flyer took the Champion ’Chase by seven lengths from Native Upmanship, after being left clear two out when both Latalomne and Seebald hit the deck.
