FormscanBy Michael Graham - Jim Bolger holds a strong hand with Flying Visit and Verbal Fencing. The former made all to score by six lengths in Listowel while the latter is on a hat-trick after victories in Down Royal and Naas. Perhaps Aidan O’Brien’s SAN MARTINO will have their measure, though. He lost out by a head in a premier nursery when last seen at Listowel in September. That form got a boost when the horse that beat him took the runner-up berth in Listed company at Dundalk last week. Snowy Owl wasn’t far off San Martino in fourth at Listowel and is more than entitled to be on the premises on these terms.
