FormscanBy Gary Carson - CADATHARLA ran really well in defeat last time and can strike again now. He went down by half a length to L'yser over slightly shorter here in late February and the front two pulled well clear of the field that day in a competitive contest. Despite a 5lb rise for that effort the progressive Flemensfirth gelding could still be nicely treated. Heia hasn't been seen since finishing a fine fifth in the Galway Hurdle last summer but she commands plenty of respect on her return with fitness unlikely to be an issue. Ottoman Style comes here on a hat-trick and has to be on the shortlist. The Kayf Tara gelding won a competitive contest at Down Royal last time when the front pair pulled nicely clear.
