THE TRIGGER has been rattling-up wins over hurdles and fences with his latest success coming in a chase at Downpatrick last week. He’s raised a further 6lb back over hurdles but still looks ahead of the handicapper and a six-timer looks on the cards. Bread And Butter is also on the upgrade though he’s been raised 9lb having won here before scoring at Roscommon while Summer Hill also has a shout having placed at Galway. Abraham now has something to prove off his current mark but Humm Baby is a course and distance winner and should have come on for a recent reappearance.
