FormscanBy Gary Carson - A run at this time of year is a big advantage to two-year-olds and ALERTNESS should prove hard to beat having had an outing. She was sent off favourite for the first juvenile contest of the year so must have been showing plenty at home. She ran a decent race to finish fourth behind a smart looking sort and the form has been boosted with a couple of winners coming out of the race since. Master Planner, last at the Curragh, and Love Me Too, last on her debut at Navan, both have a lot of improvement to find. Ballydoyle newcomer The Warrior is naturally impeccably bred, being a half-brother to a Grade 1 winner in the US. The yard's horses have been slow to hit their stride, however, and he looks best watched. Dermot Weld in contrast has flew out of the traps and Kyllachy newcomer Araner is one to note in the betting.%0A
