KONIG HALL won at Limerick last month and has also been in good form over hurdles lately. Anthony McCann’s raider is unlikely to be far away, despite a modest record so far on the all-weather. Omotesando was staying on over 1m1f at Carlisle last time but has been found wanting when tried over this longer trip in the past. Pour L'amour and Yasir probably have each-way claims but none of the others make much appeal on recent efforts.
