Formscan By 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.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards which have not won more than one hurdle race and have not finished first, second or third in a Grade 1 or Grade 2 weight-for-age hurdle race
Weights - 4-y-o 10st 12lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 6lbs Mares allowed 7lbs
Penalties - Penalty - Winner of a hurdle race 6lb extra
