Verdict

The veteran De Bennette gained her first victory over hurdles at Clonmel earlier this month on heavy ground so further rain would aid her cause. Bridge Native has been in very good form over fences and Conor Orr's claim is a bonus but SAOL IONTACH was making her handicap debut when just failing to concede 11lb to Sean Says at Punchestown and can go one better despite a 5lb rise. Midland Millie wasn't right at Naas after a couple of very good efforts and has to be respected along with Reine Fee, who bounced back to form when headed on the line on testing ground at Fairhouse.
