FormscanBy Alan Magee - ALFALFA has been lightly raced this season but indicated he’s ready to add to a 1m4f Thurles success on soft ground around this time last year when finishing strongly into third behind Bear Profit over this trip at Naas recently. The Tim Doyle-trained gelding was given plenty to do on that occasion and Wayne Hassett now claims a valuable 5lb. Starting Monday relishes soft ground and also came home well when third at Listowel last time. However, he’s probably best suited by a mile and may find this distance a shade too far. Party Dress won well on soft ground at Tipperary back in the spring while others to consider include Nans View, Aljadel and Tartaraghan.
