SWINGBRIDGE (NAP) began a winning run over hurdles then scored twice over fences before finding Antimatter just too strong back over timber at Thurles. The winner has completed a double so the form looks strong and he can race from 16lb lower than over the bigger obstacles. Megara was only just behind in that Thurles event so should be prominent again while No Pressure Pat will attract support on his hat-trick attempt though he only scrambled home at Wexford and is 8lb higher. Caerleon Kate is 0-20 though has been unlucky on a few occasions but Clondaw Farmer, who looked a smart prospect back in 2014, hasn't run since the following summer. Bronco Bill is 0-14 but has place claims on the best of his form and a 7lb claimer aids his cause.
