Moscow flying ahead of return

JESSICA HARRINGTON has delivered an upbeat bulletin on Moscow Flyer ahead of the Paddy Power Dial-a-Bet Chase at Leopardstown on Tuesday week.

The 11-year-old will be put through his paces on Thursday with a last piece of serious work before the Christmas feature. Moscow Flyer, who missed last month’s William Hill - Tingle Creek Chase after scoping dirty, will be bidding to get his career back on track in the Grade One feature after tasting defeat over fences on his last two outings.

Harrington expressed her delight at Moscow Flyer’s progress since that Tingle Creek setback and is confident her stable star can rediscover his old sparkle at Leopardstown.
