Enda Bolger and Peter Maher have all bar one of the eight runners between them. The latter's Enniskillen, who won the opening race of the fixture on Tuesday with Blue Templar not far behind in third and Need To Know well beaten, had the form boosted when the runner-up won the La Touche here on Thursday with Love Rory back in fourth. Mtada Supreme was fancied to make it a stable double in that event and everything was going to plan when he inexplicably ran out and unshipped his rider three out. He'll be supported to gain compensation and Ballyboker Bridge gives the yard strength in depth, though Bolger holds a very strong hand with COLOUR SQUADRON potentially different class. He's never been the most prolific winner and was placed on numerous occasions for Philip Hobbs but Derek O'Connor was on board when he won a point in January and again when he ran a fine race behind Cause Of Causes in the Glenfarclas at Cheltenham.
