FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Beaten ten and a half lengths into fifth in a Punchestown Festival bumper, local hope BRIDESWELL LAD should be nicely equipped to deal with ‘unplaced’ maiden hurdle opposition. His half-brother Cloth Cap didn’t come up to market expectations when favourite in the Grand National last month, eventually pulling up, but it just shows that the Seamus Neville-trained selection comes from a good family and there should be successes in the Shirocco youngster sooner rather than later. Argentoratum could come forward for the addition of blinkers, whilst point-to-point winning mare Mamaslittlestar has to be on any short-list with her 97-rating. The connections of Tarqueens Glory struck with Hurlerontheditch at this venue in March. She’s another not to discount.
