Bolger intent on regaining his old crown

IN 2010, Enda Bolger’s complete domination of the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase was interrupted for just the second time since its inception in 2005.

But the trainer seems intent on regaining his crown and, of this afternoon’s 16 entries, Bolger supplies four — all of which are owned by JP McManus.

Nina Carberry’s association with the stable has produced three successes — two on Garde Champetre (2008 and 2009) and one aboard Heads On the Ground (2007). That she sticks with the two-time winner suggests he may not be ready for retirement just yet, but he must banish the memory of a disappointing display last year.
