Hollie Doyle is optimistic that Bradsell can extend his winning streak in the Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh this Sunday
Seventh in this very contest 12-months ago, the Archie Watson-trained colt has won his two starts since, claiming the Nunthorpe at York on his latest outing.
Bidding for a second consecutive Group 1 success, the Tasleet four-year-old is the current market leader for this five-furlong contest.
"He's been to the Curragh a few times before, but he hasn't had the rub of the green really, a few things have not gone right," Doyle commented.
"The form he is in at the moment, I think the five furlongs there should be fine.
"He wouldn't want it too soft, I mean the quicker the ground the better."

On her status as one of the stars of the game, Doyle added: "It's pretty unreal in my eyes, I'm still relatively young and it's early days in my career and there is plenty more I want to do. I only now realise how much people follow and lookup to me, so it's pretty special.
"Growing up as a kid I was obsessed with Ryan Moore and AP McCoy and Nina Carberry when she was riding. There was plenty really.
"Rachael (Blackmore) has been unbelievable really. She's a Grand National winner and when she crossed that line in front I thought that's conversation over now, given the opportunity we can operate at the top level.
"In our sport we are really lucky to compete on level terms with men. We can earn the same money and in football and other sports it's not the case."
