IF recent history is anything to go by, Denis Hogan could have a big season to look forward to with Moskovite (9/4) after she made a winning return in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase.

This mare’s elder half-sister Moyhenna was a similarly useful hurdler before taking flight over fences last season when she won at Grade 2 level as well as landing a good handicap chase at Puncestown, and Moskovite could prove just as good.
