FormscanBy Tom Weekes - REVERSE POLARITY had shown bits of useful form prior to winning well at Tramore last time and should figure from her initial 107 rating. She has today's same trip and suitably good ground in her favour and is open to more progression. Coulonces was claimed for E7,000 following her win at Bellewstown and while today's race is much stronger, she is well suited to good ground and contests just her second handicap hurdle start. Kitty Galore is a consistent and able type who bumped into a well handicapped winner at Down Royal (Feel Des Mottes was fourth) and should run well while Trixie Mc has been running well and is suited by trip and ground. Bridge Native is rated 17lbs higher over fences and while she was well enough beaten on her last two handicap hurdles starts, both those races were competitive and she should run well despite having top weight.
