Verdict

IFICUDIWUD impressively shrugged aside a 200 day lay-off when landing the spoils on return to action in a Fairyhouse 2m4f handicap hurdle off a 7lb lower mark. The Noel Meade-trained gelding with adept 7lb claimer in the saddle can win again at the expense of the gallant Tony Martin-trained Anibale Fly who has hit the frame in the last two Gold cups at the Cheltenham festival. Court Maid in first-time cheekpieces and the reliable, Snugsborough Benny look more than capable of hitting the frame in this company.
  1. Ificudiwud
  2. Anibale Fly
  3. Snugsborough Benny
