FormscanBy Michael Graham - CALL A CAB enjoys plenty of cut in the ground and can get off the mark over fences. His last appearance was at Ballinrobe in May when beaten nine lengths into second by the winner of that beginners' chase. The form of that race got a boost on Sunday when the third home, She Tops The Lot, proved good enough to win a handicap chase in Tipperary. Bold Emperor has a race fitness advantage on Call A Cab and won a beginners' chase at Sligo last month. He has his chance. Bridge Native is a real credit to connections. She has four victories over fences in her locker, so you wouldn't want to ignore her claims. Winter Escape is another with four successes in this sphere. Smaller fields seem to bring the best out of him, so he can go well despite having to give weight away.
