The Paul Flynn trained Moyassr landed a tidy gamble when getting up close home to win the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap at Dundalk.

Getting in as first reserve, the Aiden Hynes owned four-year-old was supported from a morning price of 10/1 right down to 2/1.

Held up in mid division in the early part of the contest, the gelding was pushed along to go fifth over a furlong out.

Despite running around under pressure, the son of Mehmas stuck to his task well in the closing stages, getting up on the line to beat Smaoineamh Sile a neck.

“He’s a grand horse. Aubrey McMahon sourced the horse for the lads. It was brilliant as we got him with the all-weather in mind as they are all local enough to Dundalk,” said Flynn.

“He won up here for John Kiely, and he recommended him as well to Aubrey.

“He had a few runs on the turf and probably wasn’t suited to it.”
