Longer trip sure to suit Bowmore

JOHN OXX’S Bowmore can provide the solution to the Listed Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan this afternoon.

A progressive three-year-old, he made a promising seasonal reappearance at Leopardstown last month, finishing just under three lengths fourth behind Black Sam Bellamy.

Bowmore stayed on stoutly in the closing stages over a trip, a mile and a quarter, which was all too short. He has a little to find with the enigmatic Holy Orders, who was second, but can reverse placings, stepping up another three furlongs.
