Going - Yielding to soft. Overcast with showers

Formscan By Alan Magee - ALPHA CAPTURE likes to be held up for a late run and scored over course and distance 12 months ago. Those tactics rely on some good fortune and he didn’t have the clearest of runs when a very promising second to Tachos on reappearance at Leopardstown last month. Amemri is bidding for a tenth career win and recorded a fifth consecutive victory when successful over this distance at Limerick last time, while Extensio has also proved a tremendous servant to connections but is likely to find this trip too sharp on his reappearance. Nakasero and Martinelli are another two course and distance winners to consider towards the bottom of the handicap.
