Fast ground will suit Royal Alphabet

WILLIE MULLINS’ Royal Alphabet gets the nap to land the Denny Havasnack Race at Tralee this afternoon.

He is a classy sort, when on song, and the fast surface will prove ideal.

The five-year-old found the ease in the ground against him at Galway last time when sixth of 12 behind stable companion, Holy Orders. The selection is best judged on two efforts in the spring. At Fairyhouse in April, he won a bumper in fine style and then ran a cracker at the Punchestown Festival in April.
