Formscan By Michael Graham - The 90-rated ALPHONSUS LIGUORI (1) should defy top-weight in this company for Joseph O'Brien. He has earned his mark on the back of a close second on debut at Gowran Park behind a useful sort, and a victory in a Killarney maiden that has been very well franked by the placed horses. O'Brien has landed the last couple of renewals of this race. Fate's Gambit has had a busy year, but is rated some 27lb inferior to Alphonsus Liguori yet only receives 5lb from him under the terms of this race. It is a very difficult task, but he looks the pick of the remainder as he has been placed twice. Holy Lettuce can improve upon an opening fifth in Killarney.
