TROLLEY BOY made his second bumper start a winning one at Newcastle in December and has the size for jumping, so he's taken to follow up on this switch to hurdling for a new stable (sold from Edward Bethell for 50,000 gns). Useful chaser Bathiva has to be feared back over hurdles, while Lusaka should improve on his opening effort in this sphere at Perth and can also be a factor.
