Jim Bolger doesn't have too many bumper horses but RI AN DOMHNAIGH went to Punchestown with a big reputation in May. The son of Rock Of Gibraltar started favourite that day but never settled and could only finish third but should have learnt from the experience and is given the nod. Warrants A Name, a winner between the flags at Ballingarry last month, will have come on for his promising bumper debut at Worcester but a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Maller Tree. Jessica Harrington's charge made an excellent debut when runner-up at Punchestown and though not quite as good at Killarney recently his rider lost her irons which didn't aid his cause. Saint Gervais is another with a chance in an open event and though Passage Vendome was beaten out of sight when a short-priced favourite on his debut at Punchestown in May, Willie Mullins wouldn't be running him here unless confident of a much better display.
