Verdict

Memories Of Milan won this in 2014 but has generally been confined to much longer trips and ran quite well over 3m at Tipperary last time. Henry's Girl landed a Wexford maiden before a very close third in a novices' contest at Killarney, though he has a big weight to contend with. Long Journey Home couldn't quite cope with Coolfighter at Tramore despite getting plenty of weight but Chance It looked progressive when chasing home St Stephens Green at Killarney. KONIG HALL (NAP) ran very well in two starts in the spring and had a long break before returning with another pair of strong efforts. Four times a winner on the Flat, he can double his tally over hurdles having won a Ballinrobe maiden at this time a year ago.
