Bolger – it looks a tough task for Beo

JIM BOLGER admits Finsceal Beo has a huge task in front of her when taking on Dylan Thomas and cohorts in today’s Tattersalls Millions Irish Champion Stakes.

While it is not the first time the dual 1000 Guineas winner has taken on the colts, it is the first time she has attempted such a feat as a three-year-old.

She is the only filly in the field of six for the prestigious Group One event at Leopardstown, and is returning from a lengthy absence after finishing a disappointing eighth in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.
