HATCH HALL (NAP) has suddenly found his form having been beaten a short-head over hurdles at Clonmel then finishing runner-up in a huge field at the Curragh on Tuesday. He deserves to get his head in front and should do so. Winning bumper Pashtunwali looked a certain future winner when runner-up here in August but disappointed at Gowran earlier this month. Annadiamond won on the Flat here in August and would be a threat if getting her jumping act together while Moving Target should make a smart chaser in time.
