Going - Hurdle - Soft, heavy in places. Chase - Yielding, soft in places. Fine

Formscan By Gary Carson - Josh Williamson takes a useful 5lb off the back of TORPILLE DAGROSTIS and she can get her head in front now after a couple of runner-up efforts. The Gigginstown-owned filly bumped into a very useful looking rival in How’s Hannah at Punchestown 13 days ago and this looks like an easier task now. Alliteration has shaped nicely on her two hurdle runs to date, finishing third both times, and she looks like an obvious danger. Fly Away Home couldn’t lay a glove on the impressive Saveforarainyday at Limerick last month but it was a solid run and she could be place material here.

Quotes

Quotes on Alliteration (IRE)

Maybe Josh had his stick in the wrong hand but he'll learn from that and we're delighted. William Flood (owner/breeder) is a great man with a passion for the game and is a great supporter. He stands the stallion and we had the mare, who won a bumper and was Listed-placed, and this is her first foal. William was responsible for bringing in the mares' series of races and Caravation (today's winning dam) won three of them with a bumper, maiden hurdle and chase. The pedigree goes back a long, long way and the dam is a sister to Niche Market who won an Irish National. Knowing William he'd like to get blacktype with her, and she is a filly who you mightn't be in any great rush with either.
