Race preview
CADATHARLA ought to be competitive on handicap debut, having shown promise in maidens. By a leading jumps sire and out of a Galileo-sired mare, he has contested smart maiden hurdles, ran well behind Arctic Bresil at Cork and is open to progression from a manageable rating in a winneable race. If something happens Cadatharla, Chainofconsequence has strong claims, having won on testing ground in November. He faded late-on at Limerick over Christmas but should run to his rating. Low Lie The Fields hasn't won for two years and was held when blundering at Cork but had previously run well in November and is suited by testing ground. Millen To One was beaten a long distance at Leopardstown over Christmas and is on a retrieval mission reverting to hurdles from a higher rating.
