In depth
Verdict
Whiskey No Ice was headed in the closing stages by Black Zambezi at Gowran and will make a bold bid to go one better though the winner has been beaten subsequently. Triple Island will have come on for his run at Fairyhouse in April but it was a poor bumper that Iffjack finished runner-up in at Hexham. ROGUE TRADER attracted some support here in March and though never looking likely to win he gave notice of better to come and Nina Carberry's presence suggests he'll be ready for this so gets the nod.
