HAPPY JACKY was third behind Cadatharla at Killarney recently, but he now meets that rival on 8 lb better terms and this slight drop back in trip may well work in his favour. Cadatharla merits plenty of respect, despite his hike in the weights, and Linden Arden will be a danger to all granted a clear round. Last-time-out winners Sea Music and Western Fold also make some appeal.
