ESHTIAAL looked to have an outstanding chance at Down Royal last night after his demolition job at Ballinrobe on Monday and if turning up here would be impossible to oppose. Black Ice's only victory came on heavy ground so some rain would aid his cause while Just Get Cracking hasn't been in the best of form over further since scoring over the minimum trip at Wexford. Oscar Vespasian was engaged here last night so the result should be monitored while Indian Fairy has proved herself better over fences though she reverts to hurdling on a fair mark and looks the alternative if the selection defects.
