Royal Alphabet an intended runner in last weeks Supreme Novices Hurdle until virtually the last minute outclassed his rivals on his first start since winning a maiden on his Hurdling debut at Punchestown last September. He was lucky to survive the second hurdle, at which he stood a long way off, but he quickly recovered and was clearly travelling the best from halfway. Eased to the front before the last he won with plenty in hand and his trainer Willie Mullins plans to find opportunities for him at the Fairyhouse and Punchestown festivals. |
