HATCH HALL (NAP) has suddenly found his form and will be difficult to beat. Karl Thornton's charge finished runner-up in a huge field at the Curragh and the winner came here and completed a double. He then scored over hurdles at Cork so a mark of 50 is looking very lenient. Minot Street was beaten over seven lengths in that Curragh event but much prefers it around here having won four times, including a division of this. Arabic Scientist was around 10 lengths behind in that latter race and looks held and though Havelock Ellis likes it around here he has been badly out of form, as have most of the remainder.
