FormscanBy Alan Magee - CARROLLS COTTAGE beat all bar Street Value in this race 12 months ago and comes here on the back of a much improved performance in first-time blinkers at Clonmel last month. The selection was only touched off close home by the odds-on Womalko and remains on a competitive mark. Ballyadam Destiny has gained all three wins over hurdles including over 2m6f at Galway in October and looks capable of winning over fences judged on his third to Difficult Decision at Limerick recently. Halsafari has been a model of consistency this season and has been placed on his latest two starts in decent handicap chases.
