FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Enda Bolger is the undisputed king of cross-country races, and it is probably best to side with one of his four representatives in this the Festival opener. All four are sure to be well schooled over the banks, and going on jockey bookings alone I'm going to side with PHAR AND AWAY who will be ridden by Derek O'Connor. This son of Presenting cost €32,000 as a foal, and while he has shown some ability in point-to-point's, he has been disappointing on his two racecourse starts to date. Another of Bolger's representatives is Be Positive. He will be ridden by Nina Carberry, and is given second preference. The son of High Chaparral finished second in a point-to-point at Quakerstown last year, and he had the selection behind him on that occasion. He has been disappointing on the racecourse since, but an improved performance can be expected from him now on his first try over the banks. Wish Ye Didn't and Fade In complete the Bolger quartet, and they can't be discounted either. Lord Hawkfield finished second in this race last year and he warrants the utmost respect for local trainer Philip Dempsey, while The Mull and Commanchewardance are two others to consider.
