HALLING’S WISH won over 1m4f here in October and has slipped back down to a similar mark. He’s one of several capable of winning this if at their best. Mr Frankie, Runaiocht and Shining Romeo all won their penultimate starts with the latter preferred dropping back down in trip while Zephyros has been thereabouts of late and takes a drop in class. Henry Grace won over a mile here last month but has something to prove as regards stamina.
