SUNDAY’s card at the Curragh was not the classiest ever at the track, but the penalised Parish Hall still ran quite fast in the context of the conditions in winning the Listed Alleged Stakes from Loch Garman, posting a timefigure of 110.

Flight Risk’s 50/1 success in the Gladness Stakes is clearly one of those efforts which go into the “unexpected” category, and, in this instance, there are strong reasons to question the form.
