Verdict
Bridge Native gained due reward for her consistency in bumpers when making a successful debut over hurdles in a Thurles maiden. Rock On Rosie has been going well on the Flat and is generally consistent over hurdles while BALYNACLASH WARIOR (NAP) doubled his winning tally over hurdles with a smooth victory over Neddyvaughan at Thurles, for which he's been raised 6lb. Rachael Blackmore's claim can enable the latter to score again though All The Chimneys completed a double in heavy ground in the spring and will have needed last week's comeback. Next Bend hasn't run since June but he's only five and should have some improvement in him while Another Challenge looked a promising handicapper a couple of seasons ago and though only having two runs in the last campaign it wouldn't be a shock if he were to bounce back. It's almost two years since Might Be Magic landed a course and distance handicap BUT he's had only four subsequent starts.
