FormscanBy Mark Nunan - BIENVENUE made a promising debut on Irish Champions Weekend and looks to have a good chance back in maiden company. Joseph O’Brien’s filly was fourth behind King X J in a valuable sales race at the Curragh and, being by Fascinating Rock, stepping up to a mile on easy ground should suit her. From the most in-form stable in the country, Supagirl has to enter calculations after two creditable runs while Bells On Her Toes should come on from last weekend’s run at Gowran where she showed potential behind a Ballydoyle-trained winner. Nawraq isn’t the most consistent but the 75-rated colt has twice finished runner-up and can’t be ruled out. Anything from the Paddy Twomey yard has to be accorded a second look and it will be interesting to see how strong his newcomer French Claim is in the market.
