Gold can glitter

JIM BOLGER’S Gold Bubbles is fancied to land the featured Listed Ballygallon Stud Stakes at the Curragh tonight.

She made a good start when winning easily first time out at Leopardstown and was then the medium of strong market support at Naas last month.

The selection, however, caught a real tartar in the shape of Aidan O’Brien’s newcomer, Steinbeck, going under by two and a half lengths. Gold Bubbles was attempting to concede that colt a pound, though, and time may well reveal the difficulty of such a task!
