Green Ogre finally gets off mark over flights

Gary Moore was once again the trainer to follow at Plumpton yesterday as he teamed up with his youngest son Joshua for a double.

The Moores took the first two races on the card, on very deep ground, as The Green Ogre finally broke his duck over obstacles and Chris Pea Green continued his development over fences.

Moore is always well represented at Plumpton, operating at nearly a 20 per cent strike-rate, and as the course offer a bonus for any horse that wins there and then goes on to success at the Cheltenham Festival, at least Chris Pea Green has completed the first half of the deal.
