Mansony rises to challenge

THE rapidly improving Arthur Moore-trained Mansony continued his surge to the top when landing the Grade 1 Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Chase at Leopardstown yesterday.

Despite a tendency to jump to his right, he did the business in fine style, under a canny Davy Russell drive.

“He did jump to his right, but is so slick it wasn’t a big deal,” reported Russell. “We wanted a real gallop and it worked out, he idled in front.”
