Kova Hall gets the confident vote in this seller with Macgyverr and Andijan rating the main dangers. The selection landed a gamble over fences a couple of runs ago but then was let down by his jumping over fences last time. He returns to hurdles off a leanient mark and weith conditions in his favour he is hard to oppose. Macgyver rates the main danger on his latest second behind Colliers Court. He should appreciate this longer trip and will not be far away. Andijan is from a shrewd irish yard and is dropping in class and he also has blinkers on for the first time so he should be watched in the market. Of the remainder Red Sun could improve for the fitting of first time cheekpecies and a tounge tie while Freedom Flying could go well off a very light weight but Kova Hall sets a fair standard and he will be hard to beat.
