Pulled up in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft) 34 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time, cheekpieces on 1st time. Ran well on latest Flat outing and shouldn't be ruled out.

Forecasts

Macinamillion (5/6), Say It So (11/2), Tom The Plasterer (10/1), Fire Coral (11/1), Hungry Rock (12/1), Futurum Regem (14/1), Special Protector (14/1), Dubai Clover (16/1), Hollywood Star (33/1), Rebel Ruler (40/1), Yenillik (40/1), Mythical Times (66/1), Churchmouse (66/1)

Verdict

SAY IT SO is handicapped to win and shaped well having been left with plenty to do at Limerick last time, so he's the obvious choice in a thin race. Macinamillion is well treated returning to the Flat and deserves plenty of respect, while Hungry Rock isn't without hope dropped in grade.
