Mozzie on the mark for Cromwell

The Other Mozzie powered clear over the last to run out an easy winner of the two-mile handicap chase at Naas.

Conor Stone-Walsh held his mount up in the early stages before producing the 9/2 shot to challenge two from home.

He was soon disputing with stable-mate Lazer Wolf but asserted from that rival down to the final fence.

The Vadamos gelding was driven clear on the run-in and Walsh could afford to ease down in the closing stages to post a 11-length win. Silver King plugged on to take the runner-up spot.

Cromwell said:- “I have to admit I thought the handicapper had been a bit too hard on him and that’s why we claimed off him, but he was right and I was wrong.

 

“He’s ground versatile and got through that well. I wasn’t sure if he would.

 

“I’m not sure where we go from here, but it will be another handicap I suppose somewhere.”
