BRIDES HILL produced her best effort yet when runner-up in a big-field handicap at Galway 2 weeks ago, keeping on from the home turn. A repeat should see her firmly in the mix and she gets the nod. The returning Trebizond is the type to improve further this season and he's feared most. Duck And Vanish and Custers Mistake complete the shortlist.
