Ice Cold In Alex had Dixie Bluebell, who runs in the previous race, in second when beating a huge field in a Curragh handicap. He's 7lb higher but is still likely to get into the mix. SINDHIA (NAP) gave notice of better to come when a close third to today's rival Sh Boom at Gowran then landed a premier handicap at the Curragh. She's only been raised 5lb and can go in again. San Andreas bounced back to form here last month and has to be on the shortlist but Is That Love has been looking high in the weights since completing a hat-trick.
