Harvest Bow poised to go one better

The next four days bring Killarney’s racing season to a close, and a good mixed programme gets the meeting under way. Harvest Bow will take beating in the Francie Sheehan’s Bar Killorglin 3-Y-O Hurdle, one of three national hunt races in the latter part of the card.

A winner on the flat on soft to heavy ground last year at Gowran Park, the Noel Meade-trained filly made her jumping debut in the first juvenile hurdle of the year, at Roscommon, and ran on strongly into second place behind Hereia. She could never quite get on terms with the winner that day but with the run under her belt, I expect more use will be made of her today.
