Verdict

Veteran C&D winner ICE COLD IN ALEX signalled he's ready to go in again when runner-up at the Curragh last time out so looks the way to go off the same mark here. Roman Harry is feared most on the back of his very good Bellewstown fifth, while Alessia Fernanda and Summer Snow also enter calculations in this very open handicap. Red Heel completes the shortlist.

  1. ICE COLD IN ALEX (IRE)
  2. ROMAN HARRY (IRE)
  3. ALESSIA FERNANDA (IRE)
