Come Bye is improving with each run and may still be ahead of the handicapper, he gets the verdict from Arrayou and The Hairy Lemon. The selection landed a handicap hurdle here over a slightly longer trip last month and defied a thirteen pound rise to follow up at Folkestone next time. He is difficult to oppose in this mood and should land the hat-trick. The Hairy Lemon could prove to be the pick of the two Milton Harris runners having finished runner up in two similar races this month. However the main threat to the selection could be Arrayou who has taken on decent juvenile opposition. His recent seven length third behind impressive newcomer Dusky Warbler has earned him a rating of 115 and that looks to be a very fair mark. Pardishar who goes well around this twisting circuit looks best of the remainder, but Come Bye looks the most progressive in the line up and gets the vote.
