Bolger takes pair out of Longchamp Jim Bolger has taken his two remaining entries, Loch Garman and Leitir Mor, out of the French 2000 Guineas as 19 were left in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains at Longchamp on Sunday. Their withdrawal leaves the Aidan O'Brien-trained duo of Gale Force Ten and Flying The Flag as the only remaining Irish possibles for the colts' Classic. Three British entries stood their ground - Olympic Glory and Havana Gold from the Richard Hannon stable, as well as John Gosden's Bright Strike. Marco Botti took out String Theory, the other remaining British horse that was in the list. Twenty-two fillies are still in the mix for the French 1000 Guineas (Poule d'Essai des Pouliches) on the same card. Sole Irish entry Hanky Panky has stood her ground after Aidan O'Brien took her out of a race at Gowran Park on Wednesday evening because of soft underfoot conditions. Five British-trained entries remain in the shape of Richard Hannon's Zurigha, Clive Cox's Melbourne Memories, Rae Guest's How's Life, David Elsworth's Cocktail Queen and Waterway Run from Ralph Beckett's yard. Leading the home contingent are the Mikel Delzangles-trained pair of Flotilla, winner of the Breeeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' Turf, and Sage Melody. Henri-Alex Pantall's duo of Prix de la Grotte scorer Kenhope and Kensea, and the Godolphin-owned Tasaday from Andre Fabre's stable, also feature.
