Bolger on a mission

SADLERS HOME could never get to grips with Family Tradition at Leopardstown on Saturday but the winner is a smart filly

SADLERS HOME could never get to grips with Family Tradition at Leopardstown on Saturday but the winner is a smart filly. Jim Bolger's charge is on a quick retrieving mission in this evening's European Breeders Fund Premier Nursery.

Without Doubt has some decent form but Dermot Weld's charge, a five length third behind Gaultier Gale in a similar race at Galway may find it hard to concede 9lb. Maskul got up to win in a blanket finish at Roscommon but Go Thunder, who was involved, will be expected to reverse the placings.

Bonnington was a very easy winner at Dundalk and represents Family Tradition's trainer Aidan O'Brien but was behind Sadlers Home when that filly was runner-up to Nobility at Tipperary.

Whatever the fate of Without Doubt I expect Dermot Weld to land a treble, beginning with Rhum Dancer in the ICC Bank Hurdle. The selection escapes a penalty as he has not won under any Rules of Racing and can therefore confirm Roscommon placings with Evriza.

Mick O'Toole may win the Racegoers Club Maiden with Hogans Alley, short-headed by Canadian Patriot in an apprentice race at Naas and at these weights San Michel appears to have the beating of last Thursday's Tipperary winner Antithesis at in the Smirnnoff Handicap.
