A good class handicap run at a good pace. Royal Alphabet known better as a hurdler, likes this fast ground as was a little unlucky not o win outright. He had trouble getting a clear run and only drew level with Ivowen in the last stride. He was 3lb out of the handicap and may be able to win another valuable race such as this.
