Alive Alive Oh is the fourth foal of a mare whose first three all won and she made a nice start at the Curragh in October. Jessica Harrington won this last year and can complete the double with DAVANTI, who showed the benefit of her opening run with an improved effort over 7f at Leopardstown. Teoirim finished well behind that day which was a disappointment as she had some smart form earlier in the campaign. Silky Pyrus ran easily her best race when sent over this trip at Tipperary and she'll like the conditions while Hikari should prove best of Dermot Weld's pair with Pat Smullen electing to ride the daughter of Galileo.
