Leopardstown 18:08 - Price Boost

oddschecker Verdict

ALPHA can boost her ante-post appeal for next year's 1000 Guineas. Having filled the runner-up berth on her debut over this course and distance, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly built on the promise with a stylish success at the Curragh last month. Blonde Over Blue, who beat the selection in that aforementioned C&D event, rates the main danger. That was her racecourse bow and the Joseph O'Brien-trained daughter of Lope De Vega is entitled to have progressed. Airlie Stud Stakes runner-up Green Empress should be suited to stepping up to 7f and is another serious contender with Dylan Browne McMonagle in the saddle.

Prediction: 1st Alpha, 2nd Blonde Over Blue, 3rd Green Empress
