Verdict

ICE COLD IN ALEX is at the veteran stage now but he had been in good form until his blip in a big field at Leopardstown last week and might be worth siding to stage a quick revival back in calmer waters. Sara Valentina fluffed her lines when a short-priced favourite on her handicap debut but Dermot Weld's Limerick maiden winner is worth another chance to show she's capable of making an impact in handicaps. Last week's Killarney runner-up Physique may prove best of the remainder.
