Verdict

Ice Cold In Alex had been going well before getting off the mark for the campaign in what looked a better race than this at the Curragh on Saturday. He comes here with a penalty though looks certain to make a bold bid for a quick double. SCOIL NAISIUNTA (NAP) beat subsequent dual winner Birth Of Venus over this trip at Navan then found 1m4f stretching her stamina at Fairyhouse though she still ran very well and can get back on the winning trail. Alcatraz is capable of a big run as he's competed at a much higher level since scoring over 1m2f at the Curragh while Markhan looked on the way back to form at Dundalk after a barren spell. Turbine hasn't won since 2016 but is another who has been tackling decent company and is by no means out of this.
