Verdict

HITTHEHAYSON has improved plenty on the back of a yard switch, landing handicaps at Roscommon and Downpatrick in recent months and the manner of his latest success suggests a further 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent a bold hat-trick bid. Stone Forest and Morell River are a couple of others to consider.

2	Steadily progressive since blinkers applied, gamely winning 14-runner C&D handicap in August. Not ideally placed when fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Listowel (22f, good to soft) 29 days ago and no surprise to see him thereabouts. 2nd Pick 2 Stone Forest (Ire) Jockey: J. P.

6	15/2, good 8¾ lengths fifth of 11 to Hitthehayson in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft) 16 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Further progress certainly possible given low-mileage profile. 3rd Pick 6 Morell River (Ire) Jockey: S. F. O'keeffe Trainer: Colin Bowe, Ireland J: S. F. O'keeffe T: Colin Bowe, Ireland	96	-	-	-	17%
