FormscanBy Mark Nunan - BOLIVAR ran respectably when fifth on debut behind Napa Valley (winner since) and Aztec Eagle (touched off next time) over 1m at Leopardstown. His dam was useful over middle distances in France so he might fare better over this trip. Expensive yearling Castel Gandolfo (full-brother to Group 2 winner Juliet Capulet) was only collared late on in a newcomers’ maiden at Gowran and should take a hand in the finish. Avarice, who’s young rider was a star on the pony racing circuit, stayed on nicely over 1m behind Dalvey at Gowran and can confirm the form with Ballinlough Gale (third) and Ashtarak (fourth). He’s another to consider in an open-looking maiden.
