One more run for Shantou Flyer before Cheltenham Festival

Shantou Flyer is likely to have another run before crossing the Irish Sea for next month’s Cheltenham Festival.

Colin Bowe’s six-year-old won four times from five starts between late July and mid-November, scoring at Cheltenham and winning a Grade Two prize at Punchestown along the way.

He was given some time off after failing to make an impact in the Drinmore Novice Chase at Fairyhouse in November and Bowe feels the break has done him good ahead of his return.
