Formscan By Gary Carson - SIR ALFIE doesn’t look badly treated off his mark of 85 and Nicola Burns taking 7lb off the top-weight is a big help. The Dark Angel colt won his maiden at Down Royal back in June and that form has worked out well. He has run two solid races since, most recently when third off this mark in a rated contest at Cork. Raphello lost out narrowly in a Sligo maiden 10 days ago and he could be the danger now trying handicap company for the first time. Believe In Glory, third in a maiden over in Beverley last time, is another to consider further down the weights.

An extended handicap for two years old only that are EBF eligible (80 = 9st 12lbs)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
