Mossbank steps up in class in spectacular style

MOSSBANK, so impressive when winning the Munster National at Limerick, stepped up in class in spectacular fashion to land the Grade 2 Clonmel Oil Chase at Clonmel yesterday.

This was a breathtaking display by the seven-year-old, who has long been held in very high regard by his trainer, Michael Hourigan.

The Kadeed gelding, carrying the colours of Michael O’Leary’s Gigginstown House Stud, was giving his handler a sixth success in the contest, having won it before with Beef Or Salmon and on four occasions with Dorans Pride.
