There has been strong support this morning for Jack The Hat (14/1 to 6/1) for the Phelim Byrne Seasuir at Wexford Handicap Hurdle this evening.

The Noel Lawlor trained 9-year-old won this race in 2012 and partners up with last year's winning rider in the race Jody McGarvey.

McGarvey will be hoping Jack The Hat can provide him with his first winner since returning from a fractured collarbone sustained in a fall at Kilbeggan at the beginning of June.

McGarvey won on Jack The Hat this time last year when the pair landed a similar contest at Tramore. After that victory trainer Noel Lawlor said of the rider: "He is riding like a man possessed."
