O'Brien and Heffernan set to double up
Saturday Tips: Bruce can make experience count in maiden

Premium Package: Can follow up his runaway win in Down Royal by scoring at Navan. Picture: Healy Racing 

Sir William Bruce showed plenty of promise on debut and can make that experience count in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, the second race on today’s card in Gowran Park.

Aidan O’Brien’s colt was never really competitive behind the potentially high-class Fernando Vichi but got a good educational ride which should stand to him. He can account for Grid, who didn’t live up to pre-race expectation when last of four on debut. However, he wasn’t quite as bad as the placing might suggest and can step enough forward to be a player this time.
