HITTHEHAYSON has been thriving with 4 wins from his last 5 starts and returns to hurdles off a lower mark than his chasing rating. The step up in trip should suit based on previous form. The Miracle Man brings winning Fairyhouse form and ran well when second at Navan despite a last-hurdle error. Great Bird could appreciate this longer distance after showing promise at Clonmel.
