FormscanBy Mark Nunan - BUTCH COOLIDGE became the sixth winner out of the Bowe family’s smart racemare Solerina when showing much improved form in a maiden at Tramore on his first run of the year. A first-time hood seemed to help then and the handicapper raised his mark by 9lb. He drops back in trip by four furlongs, but perhaps a better pace to aim at over this shorter trip will help him. Sea Of Doubt won a course and distance handicap on her first start for seven months and the ‘bounce factor’ may have been at play when fifth here two weeks later. Blue Moon Boy disappointed at Tramore, but is better judged on his handicap debut second at Sligo. %0A%0A%0A%0A
