The front-running Kaladena made all over 1m5f at Navan in May but ran moderately on her handicap debut at the Curragh last month. HAMPSTEAD HEATH has really found his form this year having produced some decent efforts on polytrack before scoring twice over fences. He will need a thorough test of stamina but is in such good heart that he gets the vote. Aladdins Cave was involved in a tremendous finish at Navan last month when dead-heating with Lynott and the third a short-head behind. Colm Murphy's charge is 5lbs higher here but can still go well as can Articilitis, who was staying on very strongly over 1m2f at the Curragh last time and has scored over 1m5f.
