Mickey Bowen’s Mighty Fleur heads to Bangor-on-Dee with high hopes of extending her impressive four-race winning streak in the Listed Yorton Mares’ Novices’ Chase. The six-year-old demonstrated her form by comfortably winning a Worcester handicap chase upon her return from a break, proving she is in prime condition for this significant step up in grade. While the reduction in trip presents a tactical challenge, her recent performance suggests she possesses the raw power to navigate the competitive field of seven rivals.
Mickey Bowen’s star mare steps up in class for the Yorton Mares’ Novices’ Chase
The contest features a strong lineup of challengers, led by Siog Geal, who has impressed with her ability over hurdles and a recent runner-up finish at Chepstow. Rated 127, she is viewed as an exciting recruit to the fences after winning her sole point-to-point. Jubilee Alpha, the top-rated hurdler in the field, may find the switch to a new yard and code beneficial, while Onefournine remains a dangerous contender following her recent victory.
