Konig Hall, four times a winner on the Flat in Germany, put a poor hurdling debut at Galway behind him with a maiden victory here last month. An opening handicap mark of 97 does him no favours but there is more improvement to come. Winning point-to-pointer Exhibit Five has been racing over further and leading until around this trip so may be difficult to catch in the testing ground. Havana Dancer has been struggling in handicaps since landing a Punchestown maiden on good ground but Ballyfin Boy won over timber at Downpatrick before well beaten over fences at Kilbeggan and can get involved. BALOFILO (NAP) comes here with a 6lb penalty for an impressive victory at Listowel on Sunday and that looks the right move as she is likely to be raised much more than that by the assessor. A quick double looks on the cards with her young claiming rider again taking the mount.
