Race preview
Four-time winner MEEHALL ran with credit over fences at Listowel last month and he has sound claims reverting to hurdles in what looks an open handicap. Although he was pulled up on his most recent hurdle outing in January, he was a comprehensive winner at Galway last October. He stays well and seems ground-versatile. Zolpharine has won just once from 33 starts but he ran well from his higher chase mark at Killarney recently, and should be competitive from a handy weight. Ex-pointer and handicap debutant Kir showed promise over a similar distance at Tipperary in May but has to shoulder the burden of top-weight on his reappearance.
