Race preview
KINGS HALO gained compensation for his narrow defeat at Clonmel in early November when landing the spoils at Tramore later that month. The eight-year-old may be able to unlock enough improvement from this step up in distance over 3m to negate an 8lb rise in the ratings. Fellow last-time-out scorer Clonmeen is feared most, despite a 9lb hike in the handicap seeming a tad excessive, while Chosen Diamond likely has more to offer in this sphere too.
