FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BARD OF AVON ran promisingly on Leopardstown debut last October and returned from 308 days off when again running well - in a race which is working out well, at the Curragh last month. By Galileo and out of an Australian Group 3 winner, he presumably met with a setback earlier this year but was nicely supported on Curragh reappearance, when running well. He was well held by winner Fighter, who recently easily won the Petingo Handicap during Champions Festival while the runner-up has also won subsequently. Raydamann disappointed in that Curragh maiden but had previously finished second over today's course-and-distance in July with Psalm finishing third. That pair meet under those same conditions today.
