Bold Knight on hunt for Gowran gold

Bold Knight could go well at a price in the McEnery Cup Handicap at Gowran Park on Wednesday evening.

This is a step up in class for Michael O'Callaghan's charge but he gets in here off a feather weight of 7st 11lb, as Sean Davis takes 7lb off.

First-time blinkers appeared to galvanise him when second in Cork last week and he is proven at a mile and a half on soft ground.

With Dermot Weld's stable getting into full swing, top-weight Massayan has to be respected. He is a former course winner who relishes a cut in the ground.

The 88-rated Mount Wellington has shown enough to get off the mark in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

Willie McCreery's Outside Inside won nicely over course and distance last month and can defy 9st 10lb in the seven-furlong nursery.

Rickrack might exploit a mark of 75 in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden, with Pat Smullen in the saddle.

The Golf Membership At Gowran Park For 2018 Apprentice Handicap is not a strong contest but Cosmic Symbol has enough form banked to give him prospects from stall two.

Weld's Hazama should come on plenty from an opening fifth at this track in July and has an each-way chance in the concluding Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, over an extended nine furlongs.
