Pittori poised to pounce in maiden

JIM BOLGER and his stable jockey, Keving Manning, could be the combination to follow at the first stage of Derby weekend at the Curragh this evening.

Bolger is enjoying a fine campaign and is currently a clear second, behind Aidan O’Brien, in the trainers’ championship.

The Coolcullen handler and Manning could start the ball rolling with once-raced Pittori in the opening Kildare Village EBF Maiden, a contest likely to throw up a number of future winners.
