FormscanBy Michael Graham - ALPHECCA displayed ability when fifth on debut at Tipperary and particularly in third at Naas. Her latest outing confirmed that she can handle plenty of cut in the ground and, granted further improvement, she could get off the mark. Hanak's stable won this race last year and he showed more in his last couple of starts in Galway. He was well backed ahead of his fifth-placed run in Ballybrit last month and he gets first-time blinkers. Sherekiya has been backed on both outings and the suspicion is that there is more to come from her. Joseph O'Brien's Just A City Boy is another with blinkers tried, while Colin Keane is an eye-catching booking for Honouramongthieves.
