Verdict

Winning point-to-pointer Dounikos showed nothing in his first two bumper starts but made Middlebrow pull out the stops at Ballinrobe in May and looks the type to go on to better things when sent hurdling. BRIDGE NATIVE has done his best on good ground as he did when runner-up at Tramore last week when All's Quiet was behind. With conditions likely to be in his favour and a fitness advantage, he can go one better. Nerual's three runs have all been on heavy going so it remains to be seen how she acts on quicker ground.
