Olly Murphy Irish point recruit BENNETTSBRIDGE is taken to make a winning start over hurdles, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Although September Power failed to figure on her C&D hurdle debut just under 2 years ago her fairly useful Flat form suggests she should be capable of better in this sphere and she's second choice.
