The Bolger camp will be attracting most interest in this with Colour Squadron, Blue Templar and Love Rory the pick of their contingent. The former can be difficult to catch right whilst Love Rory needs to step up considerably on his latest efforts although he has previous winning form here. Blue Templar produced a career best here on Tuesday and is a young horse with a future in these races. Peter Maher is another trainer to note in these banks races and he took this last year with Mtada Supreme. His other runner BALLYBOKER BRIDGE regularly gives his best over this course and, having bypassed races here earlier in the week, he is fresher than most. He looks one that can be relied upon to give his best and he could ask some questions if setting off in front once more.
