FormscanBy Mark Nunan - BRIDGE NATIVE has had a profitable summer mixing and matching between hurdles and fences. She was just denied a fourth chase win of the year at Galway on Wednesday and had beaten subsequent Flat winner Loudest Whisper at the same venue last month on her most recent hurdles run. Up 9lbs for that victory, she’s in such good form that she might be able to overcome that hike in the ratings. Rebel Early’s best form has come when she’s had a recent outing so she might be better for this first outing since February. No Memory beat a couple of subsequent winners when landing a maiden at Ballinrobe and she’s open to improvement, and Miss Oriental has no weight on her back and should come on from her fifth to Annie Pender at Listowel. The latter is another to consider but is declared to run on the Flat here on Saturday.
