FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - The Colin Bowe horses have returned off the break with a bang. Several of the Wexford handler’s string have run well, and Hello Pilgrim and Sweet Home Chicago have pleased the many followers of the Kiltealy stable with 10/1 and 18/1 successes. Bowe’s VICTORIA BAY should be well up to making her presence felt here, with talented 5Ib claimer Sean O’Keeffe on her back. Rock Road is certainly going to attract a fair level of attention, beginning as he does for the Willie Mullins yard. The Definite Article gelding is definitely at the right end of the handicap to build on the poor strike rate he has to date. He’s rated 109 over hurdles, and 104 at this game. Henry de Bromhead and Gavin Cromwell are both two-handed. Cromwell’s Brex Drago and A Place Apart, and de Bromhead’s Deans Road and Visioman, are all worth considering.
