Without a win in eight starts for Jim Bolger in Ireland, NA BLIANTA BEO has switched yards. Rated as high as 93 last summer, Kevin Ryan’s new charge is the one to beat if taking to the Fibresand. Jacattack should have the measure of the rest of these on today’s terms having placed over track and trip earlier while Needwood Blossom finished in front of Hyba at Chelmsford last month. The latter’s stablemate and newcomer Sugar Dumpling is speedily bred and partnered by Hollie Doyle.
