HELLO PILGRIM produced an improved showing when second in a handicap at Clonmel a fortnight ago and, with a similar showing, could go one better despite a small rise. Recent scorers Rebel Waltz and Yaiza strike as obvious dangers, particularly the former, who seemed to have a bit up his sleeve at Wexford.
