In depth

Verdict

Ringhill Lady had shown very little before beating NATURAL BREEZE one-and-a-half-lengths over the course and distance last month. Today's quicker surface can see Paul Rothwell's charge gain his revenge and take this. Icee M B A was making her handicap debut at Tramore when placed behind Arizona Flyer, who goes in the previous race, and he'll get a good ride from Tom Hamilton. Balgowlah is 1-29 with his only success coming over slightly further on this track while Dundeedy Lad is 1-30 and has changed stables.
