The Coolcullen team have made an excellent start to the flat turf campaign as Caesaria in race two at the Curragh, the Big Bad Bob Maiden, added to the earlier gains for Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning with Saburo by landing the three-year-old and upwards six furlong maiden.

Sporting the Sylvain Benillouche silks of Grafelli, Kevin Manning didn't have his mount travel as well to the business end as Master Speaker (the Joseph O'Brien-ridden favourite).

However Caesaria, a son of Hannouma, like Grafelli, battled strongly along the rail to come out on top by a head.

Bolger said: "He handled the ground well and he'll get a mile. We'll probably look for a listed race now." (AM & EM)
