Limestone Lad could be a surprise runner in the Powers Gold Cup Chase at Fairyhouse on Saturday, it emerged today.
James Bowe's nine-year-old finished a six-and-a-half-length third behind Bannow Bay in the Ballymore Properties Champion Stayers Hurdle at Fairyhouse last Thursday after an interrupted preparation.
Michael Bowe, the owner-trainer's son, said: "I have entered him in the Powers Gold Cup and he will have a pop over fences during the week.
"If I like the way he schools, I will run him on Saturday. Why not? It's the end of the season.
"He is in good form and he came out of his hurdle race very well."
