Promising start for Bolger's Venice

Fort Knox enters Guineas picture
Aidan declares War!
we're going to go for the Lockinge at Newbury and that was the plan coming here. He wants fast ground and its a bit surprise that he went on that. He is so strong though - a big powerful horse and I'd imagine he'll come on from that run.

it's very heavy ground today and you'd have to be delighted with that - as a start off you couldn't ask him to do any more. He's a lovely mover and you'd have to say he'd prefer good ground. He'll come back here for the Derrinstown Derby Trial next month.
