Verdict

ALPHA CAPTURE chased home the re-opposing Oriole in this race 12 months ago and is taken to go one better this time round. The 5-y-o again shaped like a winner-in-waiting when fifth of 15 over 7f here on Tuesday and figures on an attractive mark. Oriole shaped as though returning to the boil at Tramore last time and she is feared once again, but the lightly-raced Navy Waters rates the main danger.

  2. NAVY WATERS (IRE)
  3. ORIOLE
