Sean Bowen reclaims lead in title race as Harry heads to cattle market today.
Bowen moved up to 123 winners after scoring easily on the 2-1 chance and sat well off a fierce early gallop. The seven-year-old, trained by Olly Murphy, put his experience to good use to get up on the line and deny favorite Followango by a nose. Moonlit Potter, ridden by Jacob, was not sighted until the turn for home but finished off best of all. Trainer Daly expressed relief after the 8-13 chance saw off Bampton Star in testing conditions.
The testing conditions were described as hard work according to the jockeys. The Noel Fehily Racing Club welcomed back Major Fortune, who was following up wins at Market Rasen and Hereford. Bowen was seen to best effect on the seven-year-old, despite being out luck with his other two rides. The 11-4 chance had previously run into subsequent winner Springtime Promise on her hurdling debut at Huntingdon.
