Baire can recoup losses
Jim Bolger’s charge went off a heavily backed favourite on that occasion, but failed to cope with the year younger Aidan O’Brien-trained Lebron.
The pair went toe-to-toe through the final two furlongs, with Lebron just prevailing by a neck. That race was run in very testing conditions and the drier ground now will suit the selection.
Prior to Wexford, on a sound surface, Cul Baire cruised to a seven lengths success in a bumper at the Galway festival.
The frustrating Mona Brown can also do the business for Bolger in the Follow vGowran Park on Facebook Maiden.
Fifth behind Tommy Stack’s Bird’s Eye at the Curragh, she is almost certainly crying out for decent ground.
Johnny Murtagh, following his controversial dismissal by the Aga Khan, returns from injury to ride one horse, Sherzam, for Tommy Carmody in the Rooftop Restaurant Gowran Park Nursery.
She has a great chance as well, in a competitive contest, having very much caught the eye when second behind the smart Awakened Spirit at the Curragh.
