Pass The Hat chases nice pot

Kerry National runner-up Pass The Hat has a good opportunity to get back on the winning trail in the PriceWaterhouseCoopers Rated Chase at Limerick.

The seven-year-old has enjoyed a profitable year thus far, securing lucrative victories at Leopardstown in March and Killarney in August before going down fighting to Your Busy in the feature event of the Listowel Festival last month.

He has an altogether different test this weekend, facing just three opponents over a shorter trip at Greenmount Park, but trainer Arthur Moore expects him to make his presence felt once again.

Moore said: "The conditions of the race suit him and we've been happy with him since Listowel.

"He's coming down in trip, but with it being a small field we thought it was worth taking a chance and see how he gets on. He should pick up some prize-money, hopefully."

Jessica Harrington 's talented mare Burn And Turn is back in action just eight days after finishing third behind Sizing Europe and Road To Riches in the PWC Champion Chase at Gowran Park.

The Galway Plate runner-up is set to be given a winter break before too long, but goes to the well once more.

Harrington said: "She's in great shape and I'm just keen to get her out again before the ground goes for her. She ran a great race last week, without having too hard a race.

"The ground was definitely a bit tacky for her in Gowran, so hopefully conditions are a bit better for her this weekend."

Sizing Europe's trainer Henry de Bromhead runs Sizing Italy a comprehensive winner of a conditions event at Listowel last month, and the closely matched quartet is completed by Dessie Hughes's recent Ballinrobe winner Seefood
