FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - No doubt it won't be the same for him or indeed many others without John Thomas McNamara's involvement but Enda Bolger could well help get punters off to a good start with NEAR PERFECTION. Of course Bolger has to do without Nina Carberry too but he has fine deputies on his team with the likes of Kevin Power on the selection, Katie Walsh on Keep On Track and Derek O'Connor on Mount Sion. Indeed some may perceive Zest For Life as the fourth in from Bolger's Bruree outfit but it should be noted that he won this race in 2010 and he showed up well at Cork last time behind Mossey Joe for today's rider, Tim Donworth. Anyway, before a bit of a 'wobble' in his form in recent times, you'd be investing in Near Perfection here with more than a bit of confidence. As it is he is still only an eight-year-old, he has plenty of time still to fulfil earlier promise and it's entirely possible that he'll enjoy the test that this course represents on his first public appearance over the banks.
