Queen Alphabet another for Fahey Queen Alphabet stepped up on the promise of her debut third at Killarney when taking the bumper at Roscommon. Long House Saint set off into a lead which he stretched to a distance, but as he turned into the home straight the stride pattern shortened and at the furlong pole he was a spent force. Jane Mangan and Queen Alphabet (11/2) went rattling by, but were pursued all the way to the line by No Cash Flow (20/1) who failed by a head on his first racecourse appearance. Cut Loose, the heavily backed 2/1 favourite for Mags and Patrick Mullins, couldn’t stay with the front two and had to be content with third. Peter Fahey, who has been on a terrific run in bumpers, said: “She’s a very good filly. Jane gave her a brilliant ride. “She can be very keen and Mark (Fahey) did a very good job on her first time out to switch her off and he taught her a lot. “She’ll mix it between the flat and bumpers and wants a bit of nice ground.” Additional reporting by Gary Carson
