Bolger hoping Glor can open account

Jim Bolger is hopeful Glor Na Mara can get his head in front for the first time in the Go And Go Round Tower Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.

Although still a maiden after three starts, the youngster was beaten just half a length into second by Zoffany in the Phoenix Stakes and then chased home the unbeaten Pathfork in the Futurity.

The Vincent O'Brien National Stakes on September 11th remains a major target, but Bolger said: "He's in very good form. He was going to have to do a bit of fast work next Tuesday anyway so we thought we'd bring it forward and get paid for it.

"He's a good horse and I'd be hopeful of a good run."

Glor Na Mara is one of nine runners in the Group Three contest, with Richard Hannon's Big Issue and the David Evans-trained Dingle View making the journey from England.

Aidan O'Brien saddles Emperor Hadrian and Queen Of Spain, Dermot Weld is represented by both Oor Jock and Moonlit Garden, while Fred Archer lines up for David Marnane.

Sydney Harbour completes the line-up.
