Bowenscourt clear best in bumper

Bowenscourt powered clear inside the final furlong to take the concluding bumper at Clonmel in good style.

Finny Maguire 's mount claimed the front-running favourite Simiel (5/4) passing the two pole and asserted inside the final furlong to record a six-length success at odds of 4/1.

The Mags Mullins-trained mare had chased home Present Flower at Downpatrick on her most recent start last month and had also been third here back in May.

"Patrick (Mullins) rode her the last day but she has turned inside out since and the penny is only dropping with her now," said the winning trainer.

"She'll go for a hurdle now and has a nice pedigree so that bumper win will look nice on her pedigree page.

"That's Finny's first ride for me and he gave her a lovely ride. He's a lovely chap and it's great seeing these young lads coming through."
