FormscanBy Gary Carson - ALLEGORIE DE VASSY is hard to oppose here and can make it two from two over fences. The No Risk At All mare was very good on her chase debut at Limerick, where she just had one blip two from home before recording a wide margin victory. That was another Grade 2 event and she looks set to start a short price again again. Malina Girl chased her home then and it's hard to see her turning the tables. Her stablemate Brides Hill may be the one to fill the runner-up spot this time. She ran well when chasing home Journey With Me at Naas and that form has worked out well since. The winner was narrowly denied in Grade 3 company while she had Flame Bearer behind in third that day.
