HARRY DAYS has only had eight starts and has yet to win but his latest effort when third to Boynagh Joy over this C&D in September was a much-improved run with the exploits of the winner, who has gone on to land a Listed contest, giving the form a major boost. He should be good enough to gain his first success though Blue Eyed Miss has dropped to a very tempting mark as she showed when scoring here last month and shouldn't be dismissed. The veteran Oversighted was in fine form here at this time a year ago and looked as though he was getting ready to win again soon when a very good third behind Kirsty's Boy a fortnight ago when Mootriba wasn't far behind. The latter was having only his second start for new connections and should give another good account.
