Ice Cold In Alex has won three times around here though rarely runs over a trip this short these days. KING OF BAVARIA landed a heavy-ground nursery at Naas in October and his two runs in the spring were on good going in Listed company. He looks to have more scope than these rivals and can get back on the winning trail. Warrior Brave hasn't really hit the heights since transferring from the UK while Sunset Nova went up a massive 10lb for scoring at Leopardstown. Patsy Fagan has transferred from Richard Fahey where he's won three times at Southwell since December.
