They don't come much tougher to predict than this. Dedigout is a progressive novice who finished third in a Grade 2 last time and makes his handicap debut while Marlay Park won this a year ago though he's now 10lb higher. Willie Mullins relies on the consistent Lord Gale who has been coming up against some decent novices and doesn't look badly treated while Novarov will appreciate the likely strong gallop having scored over 3m at Cork last time. ITS THE ICE I LIKE was always travelling nicely when scoring at Gowran and is progressing well enough to take this for Robert Tyner though the consistent One In A Milan has been going well over further on testing ground and these conditions could bring about more improvement.
