FormscanBy Michael Graham - BRIDGE NATIVE just loves it around Tramore, and has a good chance of supplementing her handicap chase win here last month. She has won on her last two visits to this track, and travelled notably well on her way to scoring by half a length when last seen. She bids to exploit a lower hurdle mark, and Simon Torrens is good value for the 7lbs he takes off her back. Enzani was off track since October 2018 before returning with a promising third in Kilbeggan. A patient race was ridden on him last month before his run understandably petered out in the straight. He ought to be all the fitter and sharper for that. Former course winner Goodbye Someday has plenty of form to advertise his chance and was fifth in a 50 grand handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival. He is the horse to beat, and Eoin Walsh's 7lb claim is a help, but there is a nagging concern about the ever-drying ground for him.
