Flyer could face five at Leopardstown
Moscow Flyer appears to have scared off most of his rivals as he faces a maximum of five challengers in the Paddy Power Dial-a-Bet Chase at Leopardstown next Monday.
Jessica Harrington’s warrior has landed this contest, newly upgraded to Grade One status, for the last two years.
He will be harder to beat than ever, having recently become Europe’s highest-rated chaser after his defeat of Azertyuiop in the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown.
However, all his opponents in the two-mile-one-furlong affair are of a creditable standard.
They are recent Hilly Way Chase first, second and fourth Rathgar Beau, Central House and Native Scout, along with Glenelly Gale and the veteran Native Upmanship.
