FormscanBy Mark Nunan - ALFIERI was a revelation over this trip at Tipperary on Thursday where he bolted up by 13 lengths under this rider. The ground was much softer than is likely to be the case here but he was second in a Kilbeggan maiden on good ground and is likely to prove hard to beat under his mandatory penalty. A Dublin Job was third to the selection at Tipperary and it’s hard to see him turning around the form. Dalileo ran well when second over 2m6f at Limerick on his latest hurdles start and was a fair fourth over fences at Wexford. He likes good ground and should go well. Miss Us O was touched off at Kilbeggan in April before going one better at the same venue last time. She stays well and merits respect off a 6lb higher mark.
