Verdict

PAPAL MOTEL won this last year as a three-year-old, his only career success to date. He’s 5lb higher now but has been running well over hurdles and is overdue another victory. Konig Hall will be all the better for a third over timber at Kilbeggan and Caminel shaped as though ready for step up in trip last time at Fairyhouse. Kates Doll was slowly away at Cork last month so did well to finish fourth and is another to consider.
