Verdict
Alfalfa has been in fine form on Turf but was engaged in the 3.37 at the Curragh yesterday. FAIRYTALE PRINCESS (NAP) made a winning track debut over the extended 1m2f course last month then led over a furlong out until headed close home over this trip a week later. She was conceding 15lb to the winner and can get back on the winning trail. The versatile Jake Peter is better over slightly further but can't be discounted nor can Wajaaha, who ran an excellent race over a trip too short here last month.
