Moscow Flyer makes it two-in-a-row

Moscow Flyer and Barry Geraghty outclassed five rivals to win the Paddy Power Dial-a-Bet Chase for the second successive year at Leopardstown today.

The Queen Mother Champion Chase hero was not hard pressed to beat Native Scout by five lengths.

Geraghty always had the 2-7 favourite handy and was content to let rank outsider No Need For Alarm make the early running.

Jessica Harrington’s seven-year-old jumped into the lead at the sixth of the 11 fences and sealed victory with a superb leap at the final fence.

Native Scout went in vain pursuit of Moscow Flyer and although he could not get in a blow, he finished well clear of the third Knife Edge.
