FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Willie Mullins-trained KAID D'AUTHIE is given another chance to atone for a lacklustre effort at Cheltenham. Previously a respectable fourth in Grade 1 company at the Dublin Racing Festival, the French-bred gelding had won his maiden hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. Having skipped Aintree, the five-year-old should be a relatively fresh horse coming into this contest. His prominent racing style should prove well suited to this sharp track. Stablemate Got Glory has failed to complete on three starts this season but was runner-up at this meeting last year. Perhaps a return to this venue will see her show more of her old sparkle. Blue Mosque needs to step up but is an experienced hurdler who shouldn't be ruled out.
