Boom Or Bush bids to get back on track

Boom Or Bush could get compensation for being unseated at the Galway Festival when he contests the Perennial Freight Rated Race in Tramore today.
A collision with the running rail after half a mile saw his race scuppered in Ballybrit, but prior to that he picked up the winning thread in Down Royal.
Harry Rogers' charge is best in at the weights as Rachael Blackmore claims 3lb on this switch to the Flat from the National Hunt game. All Of Me who was runner-up to Boom Or Bush in the north, bids to go one better in the Ashtown House Stud Irish EBF Fillies Maiden.
However, Dermot Weld's Alaykha is likely to be a tough opponent after a couple of runs in maiden company that showed ability.
Weld's Turnabout has to be respected in the Dan Cowman Memorial Maiden, while Lizard Point s consistency could be rewarded in the Martha's Bar Handicap. Shadagann bounced back to form with a third place in the Curragh last month, so has to go on the shortlist for the Strand Inn Handicap over a mile and a half. Rubenesque with three runner-up finishes in her last four starts, looks the one to side with in the BoyleSports Handicap. Water Sprite s stamina and good second place at Galway puts her in the frame for the Assembly Techniques Handicap over two miles.
