The Virginian is one to note going handicapping after just three starts in modest maiden hurdles and the market may well tell the story about his chance. However, he's tackling some battle-hardened handicappers now and plenty arrive in winning form. Handicap debutant Reverse Polarity looks to be going the right way and Feel Des Mottes has returned from a break in good heart and scored with authority at Clonmel. He does make appeal and should have more to come at the age of six but BRIDESWELL LAD also impressed with the manner of his recent Tramore success and Jordan Gainford's claim is an added bonus. Aunty Audrey isn't ruled out either.
