FormscanBy Michael Graham - Killarney National winner BRIDESWELL LAD raced over an inadequate trip when sixth in a Tramore handicap hurdle, but will enjoy this test of stamina. He is clearly much better over fences, but has banked two hurdle victories during his career. There is certainly another handicap hurdle to be won with Wa Wa. He travelled smoothly in Roscommon before being outgunned by the winner and a similar effort would see him go close. Outside The Door is another looking to exploit a lower mark over hurdles and has a part to play, while Tankardstown Diva could get involved. Yulong Voice catches the eye after a good second at Cork in May, but the forecast rain is not music to his ears.
