AIRLIE BEACH has her first run under Flat rules though she has won a bumper along with six victories over hurdles including at Grade 1 level. With rain forecast the ground should be in her favour and she can see off her younger rivals who include her stable-companion She's So Flawless, who will improve for her debut at Ballinrobe. Alaykha should prove best of the younger brigade after a fine debut at Limerick where she was only beaten a head over that extended 1m3f despite not getting the run of the race. She has a superb pedigree for this sort of trip and will find any flaws in the selection's make-up. Erratic Path also made a promising debut over 1m5f at Navan where he stayed on late without winning.
