Race preview
MOSSY FEN PARK ran with a considerable amount of promise when runner-up to a smart type of Willie Mullins' at Punchestown on his Rules debut. Without a rival of that calibre in the line-up, Henry de Bromhead's gelding has been found a fine opportunity to go one better. Great Universe may benefit from a sounder surface following his hurdling bow and is expected to be in the mix, while He's Ultimate and Annaghbeg are also noted.
