ALFIERI could hardly have been more impressive when making his third start in handicaps a winning one over this sort of trip at Tipperary 4 days ago and, turned out under a penalty, he's fancied to follow up. That said, Miss Us O impressed when successful on her latest outing and is feared, along with Dalileo.
