Konig Hall was in good form on the Flat and over timber last summer and the ground has come right for him. Misty Millie, who gained her first victory over timber at Fairyhouse last month, was well beaten on the Flat at Tipperary last week. EJAYTEEKAY was having only her sixth start over hurdles when scoring over the course and distance earlier this month. The runner-up has won subsequently so Gavin Crowell's mare can defy a 6lb rise and complete a double. Our Rachael improved on the Flat at the end of last year and a recent spin will have brought her to concert pitch.
