FormscanBy Michael Graham - NATIVE SPEAKER could be a more than useful graduate to the track. He was a wide-margin winner of his point-to-point after being left well clear at the last when already in charge. The horse that was left to come home second boosted the form by winning his next point-to-point. Native Speaker has moved to in-form Henry de Bromhead for his track career. Blizzard Of Oz has been a beaten favourite in his last couple of bumpers but, there is no doubt that if he puts it all together, he would be a contender. Ideal Tu Tabert switches to a bumper after being placed in two novice hurdles. That experience will stand to him and it is an interesting move. Any Road was only caught in the final 50 yards at Fairyhouse in January and adds further spice to the mix. Newcomer Big Dispute is well related and has Jamie Codd's assistance.
