Native adds hurdle success to recent chase wins Bridge Native continued a fine run of form when making it three wins in four starts in the angloprinters.ie Handicap Hurdle at Galway. Dot Love's charge had won over fences at Tramore and Downpatrick and made the most of a lower mark back over timber in the two-mile handicap today. Simon Torrens got a good tune out of the 7/1 shot who came under pressure in third before the second last flight. She stayed on to claim 9/4 favourite Mig Des Taillons over the final flight and went on to post a two-and-a-half length winning margin. Loudest Whisper kept on in the closing stages to claim the runner-up spot. Aaron Murphy, the yard's head lad, said afterwards:- "She was in savage form and we had to run her, when you get a mare in that sort of form you can't stay at home. "She has improved every way recently and we weren't surprised she improved over hurdles as well.  "She is good enough to go again over hurdles and could even have a run on the flat."
