Queen Alphabet ran in a Listed hurdle at Gowran on Friday but only beat one home. Liberty's Gift won this in 2013, however, and has been running well on the Flat this summer so don't be surprised by a big run. Phil The Flyer could hardly be in better form having completed a double with a facile victory at Navan, though the assessor has had his revenge with a 14lb rise and third-placed Habesh should get much closer on the revised terms. Akito got off the mark in a fast-ground Tramore maiden but this is much tougher and Lilly The Lioness is 10lb higher than for her victory at Galway. DAMEFIRTH, who was beaten around six lengths in that latter race, has a big pull in the weights and can take her revenge and land this very competitive affair in which Roscommon maiden winner Beau Et Sublime is another contender.
