A tough handicap where stamina will come into play which suggests WHISKEY HALL can follow up his recent surprise success on his first start over today's trip at Clonmel where he relished every yard on the soft ground. A 7lb hike doesn't look harsh but the likes of Katys Girl and Killeenmore will ensure he doesn't have things his own way. The former is still a maiden after 11 starts over timber and has yet to race beyond 2m4f but looks every inch a stayer while Noel Meade's charge has had very little racing and was having only her second start in a year when a very close second to Cayo Levantado at Navan two weeks ago where Current Resession was a close third. Representing showed her first sign of ability when runner-up to Derinlaur at Naas 10 days ago and looks on the upgrade.
