Buddy Rich hasn't made the expected progress since a narrow debut defeat at Punchestown but returned to action with a fair run at Leopardstown and has changed stables. EL BARRA won a Thurles bumper in November but then burst a blood vessel at Leopardstown before reasonable efforts at Naas and Navan, the latest when chasing home Coqolino. That could be good enough for this though Jim Bolger saddles a rare runner over hurdles in the smart Bold Approach, who is rated 94 on Turf and wouldn't need to be special to make a successful debut nor would Raphael, five-times a winner on the Flat. Coolamber was engaged in the 1.15 here yesterday.
