Rossmore's Pride has returned to his previous handler having won over fences in the UK for Rebecca Menzies and ran well at Down Royal last month. He's the only distance winner in the line-up though Milly has gone close over the trip. The latter has run well enough in her last two starts though remains a maiden after 19 outings over timber. ALL ABOUT ALFIE followed a surprise victory over 2m3f at Naas with a moderate run over an extra two furlongs at Limerick. He's managed to win seven times in his career and this is within his capabilities on a going day. Shantou Bay is still a maiden and looks high enough in the weights while Black Ice doesn't win very often though ran quite well on his reappearance at Tramore.
