Make it Mossbank to follow-up

MICHAEL HOURIGAN is set to take the wraps off highly-rated Mossbank in the St Margaret's Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse this afternoon.

Hourigan has already described the Kadeed gelding as the new Beef Or Salmon, so he has plenty to live up to in the coming months.

The former winning pointer was hugely impressive on his debut over flights at Limerick last month. He looked a very classy individual, striding through in the straight to beat the useful Powerstation unextended by three lengths. The bare form is no reason for getting overly excited, but it was the manner of the performance which was so eye-catching.
