FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Ballymacaw is fascinating on his debut for Enda Bolger, but it’s not easy to ignore his last effort which would give him no chance. The blinkers are left off now and though Bolger hasn’t had a huge amount of time to work his magic, a big performance from the Stowaway gelding will come as no surprise at all. The Gatechecker and Out Sam are back in search of further Cork Grand National gains, but DEADHEAT could be the one. Brought down on the lengthy trek from County Down by the McParlans, this fellow has already done the northern father and son team of Sean and Noel proud. There could be even more to come from him at this trip. The Caddy Rose, Tokyo Getaway, High Sparrow, Rocky’s Silver and Cap York are among the others for the short-list.
