FormscanBy Gary Carson - JUST JACOB bids for a hat-trick here and may be able to bag another before the handicapper catches up with him. Sean Flanagan said his mount was improving with racing after his victory at Sligo earlier in the month and the way he asserted late on there suggests he's capable of defying a 7lb rise. Sheishybrid ran well on the Flat at Tramore last time and could be a danger back over timber now. The Noel Meade-trained filly had won well over timber at Cork at the start of the month and looks on a fair mark off 105 for her first handicap start over hurdles. Faron bounced back to form when winning a decent little rated contest at Sligo last time and he is another that has to come into the mix.
