Jonjo O’Neill: Holywell bouncing ahead of return to Aintree

Jonjo O’Neill reports Holywell to be flying at home ahead of his outing in the Betfred Bowl at Aintree on today.

Having put in a bold effort when finishing fourth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup last month on ground softer than ideal, the nine-year-old will bid to bounce back by hitting the mark in three-mile-one-furlong Grade One contest.

Should the Gay Smith-owned gelding prevail it would be the second year in succession he has won at the meeting after bolting up 12 months ago in the Mildmay Novices’ Chase.
