Formscan By John O'Riordan - ALFALFA can continue the excellent form of the Tim Doyle stable by following up his recent win at Thurles. Runner-up on his previous two starts, the gelding had been very consistent prior to gaining that first career success. Although that win came over a mile-and-a-half, the son of Sir Prancealot seems adaptable tripwise having run well over nine furlongs previously. The Andrew McNamara-trained Red Trail arrives here bidding for a hat-trick having won his last two starts at Gowran and Down Royal respectively. Although climbing the handicap, the four-year-old may well have more to offer. Team of Firsts shaped well enough on two recent runs over hurdles to suggest he could well win races for new trainer Pat Flynn.
