Alhaban faces Tyros test

ALHABAN could go in search of a first Pattern-race success in Thursday’s Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown – ground permitting.

Kevin Prendergast’s charge came within a short head of a valuable victory in the Railway Stakes last time, only to find himself trumped on the line by Mastercraftsman.

He could now bid to go one place better in next week’s Group Three if the ground is suitable.
