HAROLD'S CROSS was in superb form over fences during the summer and shot up 29lb in the weights as a consequence. He can revert to hurdling on his old mark and should take advantage. Littletown Lass and Masterofthebree occupied the places behind Code Of The West at Listowel and should again be prominent, while Lapse Of Reason returned to hurdling after a spell over fences with a smooth victory over the C&D. He should go well again despite a 9lb rise but another chaser, Black Mac, has mainly run moderately when tried over timber. Realta Rathcabhain ran easily his best race to date when promoted to runner-up behind Killogan Lass at Gowran last week and a repeat performance would see him go very close here.
