Bowe plans racecourse gallop for Limestone Lad

Limestone Lad may have another racecourse gallop at Leopardstown this weekend ahead of his challenge for the Bonusprint Stayers’ Hurdle next month.

Trainer James Bowe’s son and assistant Michael confirmed today that the evergreen 11-year-old will be the stable’s only challenger at the Cheltenham Festival, following the defection of Royal & SunAlliance Novices’ Hurdle hope Solerina.
