Coolcullen's 'Club' warm up for Royal Ascot Trainer Jim Bolger and stable jockey Kevin Manning warmed up for Royal Ascot tomorrow with a win with Club Wexford in the Panoramic Restaurant Rated Race at Naas today. Club Wexford had won previously at Limerick in April but that success had been his first since winning his maiden at Leopardstown in June 2013, Wexford-native but Coolcullen, Co Kilkenny based Bolger today explained “he got a fracture the day he won his two-year-old maiden in Leopardstown but it was successfully screwed and he's had no bother since, but because it happened on good to firm we had kept him to yielding or softer. “The last day he won (on fast ground at Limerick in May) we took a chance and it worked; the horse himself has no objection to it, we were just being careful. “I'd say seven (furlongs) or a mile is his trip; over six it just happens a bit quick for him.” Tomorrow, Bolger and Manning combine with a pair of runners, Turret Rocks in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes and Bean Feasa in the Sandringham Handicap, while the Derby winning jockey also takes the ride on the Brian Meehan trained Bacchus.
