Going - Good to Yielding, Good in places. Dry

Formscan By Alan Magee - ALBATALA was unfortunate when the reins snapped at Fairyhouse before an encouraging effort last time when finishing well to beat all bar St Denis’s Well over this course and distance on St Stephen’s Day. The Belardo mare has scope for further improvement on her current mark and is preferred to Mayos Vendangeur. The latter hails from a yard in good form and merits respect in this grade on her second to Kp’s Ladyofknock at Clonmel last month. Katherine won similar events at Kilbeggan and Fairyhouse in the autumn and has run since both over fences and on the Flat. Lady Rose Hackett needs to bounce back after a disappointing effort at Leopardstown, while any market move for Miss Gitana would be interesting.
