FormscanBy John O'Riordan - KING CUAN should prove hard to beat in a race where he is favourably treated by the conditions. The Paddy Twomey-trained colt has won two of his three starts but could well be coming here unbeaten but for running into traffic problems on his racecourse debut at the Curragh. With the form of his two subsequent wins having worked out extremely well, the son of Tasleet looks a very smart prospect. Megarry has to concede weight all round but the recent Listed race winner should be capable of going close under Gary Carroll. While he is certainly more exposed than King Cuan, he has proven himself at a higher level and is more streetwise. Lia Fail doesn't have her usual claimer on board here but shouldn't be discounted despite having a bit to do at these weights.
