Somno looks likely sort for Bolger

In Somno looks a likely sort for the Thomastown Fillies Median Auction Maiden in Gowran Park on Tuesday.

Jim Bolger 's filly is the most experienced in the field with three runs under her belt and, crucially, has form on heavy ground when runner-up in Listowel.

The horse that beat her there, Grecian Divine, subsequently landed a handicap in Naas off a mark of 80.

The first-time blinkers and tongue-strap could eke out some more improvement.

Bolger took the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden last year and has prospects with newcomers Mearu and Vocal Activity

Aidan O'Brien runs four, however, with Sir John Lavery going into many notebooks after his third place at the Curragh last week. He is the one to beat. Jaguar Paw might make it 13th time lucky in the www.gowranpark.ie Handicap after some solid recent efforts in defeat. Bouquet Garni has been runner-up in her last two appearances and is a solid option for the Gowran Park Racing Club Nursery Handicap.

Course and distance winner Rigid Rock avails of Danny Sheehy's 10lb claim in the Like Gowran Park On Facebook Handicap and certainly makes appeal.

Bolger's Burning Sword has a good opportunity to snap a run of three second places in a row when he contests the Racing Again November 26th Maiden.

A market move for O'Brien's Oasis Dream colt Land Of The Free on debut, would be significant, though.

The mile and six furlongs in the Gowran Park Memberships For 2017 Handicap will take plenty of getting on the forecast testing conditions. Dalmatia was pipped by a nose over course and distance and also has placed form on heavy ground, which makes her of interest with Kevin Manning up again.
