Verdict

BRIDGE NATIVE (NAP) landed a Tramore handicap over fences before reverting to hurdles on the same track and running well. He holds the veteran Bective Cave on that early form and looks the one to be on. Chief Of Police has only run twice over fences, landing a beginners' chase at Limerick on very testing ground in March. He's been confined to hurdles and the Flat subsequently and could be on a fair mark. Miracle In Medinah hasn't shown much over hurdles or fences since landing a bumper way back in 2016. One In All In is better than he showed at Kilbeggan last time while Arch Melody completed a double at Wexford last summer but hasn't been seen since October.
