Ceol to keep up Bolger momentum Jim Bolger's powerful string has struck form recently and the Coolcullen maestro appears to hold solid prospects with all three of his runners at Navan on Saturday. Disappointments at Epsom last weekend for the Bolger team were tempered by a double at the Curragh, and he clicked up another gear with a treble at Leopardstown on Thursday evening. Ceol Na Nog was part of another double for Bolger when making most and staying on strongly over 10 furlongs here a fortnight ago, and the Teofilo filly should be suited by this step up to a mile and five furlongs. Encouragement can be taken from the fact her half-sister Feile Na Mban won over a mile and a half, while Joseph O'Brien may provide the chief threat with both Lord Justice and Way To My Heart. Intense Stylist can lose her maiden tag in the Navan Members Handicap, which has attracted a maximum field of 18 runners. The daughter of Intense Focus showed promise on a number of occasions last term, notably when second at Gowran Park, and appeared in need of a step up to this mile when again filling the runner-up spot on her only outing so far this term behind End Play at Tipperary. Kevin Manning is also on board Al Mohalhal for his father-in-law in the concluding Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race. The Acclamation gelding enjoyed his finest hour to date when taking the valuable Birdcatcher Nursery at Naas last autumn but also shaped well over a mile on a number of occasions as a juvenile. Punters can get off to a good start with Lyin Eyes in the opening Lynn Lodge Stud EBF Median Auction Race. The Charles O'Brien-trained juvenile really caught the eye on debut here a fortnight ago, showing her inexperience before staying on nicely in the closing stages behind Medicine Jack. Sean Davis has been seen to good effect with two winners recently at Leopardstown, and the Maynooth teenager has a couple of decent chances for his boss Michael O'Callaghan on this card aboard Bainne and Mr Bounty.
