This looks one of the toughest races at the meeting to call, complicated by the presence of Queen Alphabet, who had a chance in a novice hurdle here yesterday. Beach Of Falesa beat Ellaway Rose comfortably at Wexford and though unable to cope with Well Tuned at Limerick on Saturday she was conceding 11lb to the winner. Roisin Dubh hasn't taken to fences and is better judged on her victory at Clonmel in May while Supreme Vic was impressive at Limerick and though stepping down in trip was always travelling well so should be in the mix. LILLY THE LIONESS is 5lb out of the handicap which would normally put paid to her chances in a competitive affair but she's in such superb form at present that she can defy the impost. Her latest easy victory came over fences and her previous start was on the Flat where she finished runner-up to Ridestan, who ran an excellent race here on Monday. Ballychorus is an obvious threat as she followed an impressive bumper victory at Killarney by beating a strong field over timber at Roscommon.
