Cork Race 6

Paddy Power Betting Shops Irish Ebf Novice Chase (Grade 3)

Prize Money: $58,118

MOSSY FEN PARK (2) opened his chasing account with a comfortable 2L triumph providing Listowel reappearance. Two wins and two placed efforts from four runs under Darragh O'Keeffe. Progressive and poised for another bold bid dropping in distance. NURBURGRING (3) boasts a pair of hurdling successes at this level. Off the mark with fences securing a 4.5L victory at Killarney. Needs to bounce back from below par efforts at Galway and Curragh. Rates highly. OL MAN DINGLE (4) beat a subsequent winner making chase debut at Galway. More to come second-up. ASIAN MASTER (1) is worth a market check delivering initial seasonal and stable outing.

Comments
Useful gelding. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last outing finished 25th of 30 starters at Curragh on September 28 over 3419m, 23 len behind Puturhandstogether carrying 60kg at $8. The start before that; didn't finish the race at Galway in the G3 on July 30 over 4526m. Capable of better showing than recent efforts. Rates highly on best form and deserves another chance.

Useful gelding. Last start pulled up at Limerick in the G3 on October 19 over 4828m. Start before didn't finish the race at Listowel in the G3 on September 24 over 4828m. Capable of better showing than recent starts. Forgive that run and should be right in the mix.
