FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BACK ON THE BRIDLE is winless from 15 starts but has shown some form and comes here following a useful effort at Tipperary latest. She beat today's rivals Clody Valley (fifth), Give Me A Moment (sixth) and Bellgrove (seventh) at Tipperary and a being a 5yo, could be open to some more progression over fences. Schmidt has won just once in 26 attempts but has been in good form in the UK in recent months and is well suited by trip and ground. Give Me A Moment won a similar race at Tipperary in May and while beaten twice since, is well suited by good ground. Bellgrove, a 13yo, was behind the selection at Tipperary but wasn't beaten too far when upped to three miles at Roscommon latest.
