Mount Moriah (Mount Nelson) wins the John Sunley Memorial Handicap (Class 4) at Newbury

Mount Moriah (Mount Nelson) wins the John Sunley Memorial Handicap (Class 4) at Newbury for Ralph Beckett and owner Norman Brunskill.

Ridden by Harry Bentley, the gelding was returning from a 7-month absence here but showed no signs of rustiness. Travelling strongly

in to the contest, Mount Moriah clearly relished the soft ground and won in impressive style by 3 3/4 lengths.

After the race jockey Bentley said ” He loved that ground and stayed well – he’d step up another furlong as well. He won with something in hand and is progressive when he gets his conditions”.

Mount Moriah was purchased by EBS as a yearling at BBAG sales for €30,000. To find our more about potential purchases, please feel free to get in touch.
