Limestone Lad set to bypass set for Naas run

Limestone Lad looks likely to bypass the AIG Europe Champion Hurdle later this month according to Michael Bowe, son of trainer James.

The prolific 10-year-old, who notched the 35th win of his career in the woodiesdiy.com Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown on Saturday, seems more likely to head for the Bank Of Ireland Hurdle at Naas in his build up to Cheltenham.
