Witness fans screaming with delight

Connections must be delighted with the recent form and progress of Screamingwitness, who is search of an impress hat-trick.

The May 2004 whelp, trained at Belle Vue by Ray Andrews, ended his belt of seconditis on the flat on May 26 in an A4 contest.

Screamingwitness clocked a career-best time of 28:29 when defeating Gin Pit Jig by six lengths and is going from strength-to-strength.

He then showed versatility last Friday, scoring in the top flight over the hurdles when he easily accounted for odds on favourite Hollylake Boy.

In his current mood, A1 looms large for the son of Derrybeg Twister - who defeated Noirs Mentor by six-and-a-quarter lengths last time out.

Open racing in the jumping game also has to be a serious consideration for Screamingwitness connections.
