The Ken Condon-trained Moss Tucker turned over hotpot Tenebrism in the listed Anglesey Lodge Equine Hospital Woodlands Stakes, the feature of Monday night’s pre-Punchestown action in Naas, and, in doing so, readily reversed recent Cork form with Aidan O’Brien’s filly.

A battle-hardened five-year-old, fifth in the Abbaye at Longchamp last October, Moss Tucker made all and found plenty when Ryan Moore delivered his challenge on 2-5 favourite Tenebrism, forging clear in the last 100 yards to score by a length and a half.
