Nasrullah Handicap the target for Alanya The Nasrullah Handicap at Leopardstown on Thursday is next on the agenda for Alanya. A surprise 40/1 winner of the Ladies Derby on her debut for Tom Gibney, the French import will now take her chance in the valuable E100,000 contest at the Foxrock venue. "It (the Nasrullah Handicap) is the plan," Gibney commented. "We had her entered before the race (Ladies Derby), we kind of had it in our head that she won over 10 furlongs in France. "If the truth be told, it looks like she probably would get further. I wouldn't mind stepping her up in trip actually, but it is a good race and it is there and she is in good form. "Going to the Curragh last week, I actually thought she wanted an ease in the ground and I was toying with the idea of not even running her. There was an ease in the ground in the Curragh on Friday, but it had dried out like mad on Saturday and it seemed like proper good ground. "She looked fine on it last week, but I'm just going to have to run her and find out." Additional reporting by Michael Graham
