MOSS GROVE was probably a bit fortunate to beat Its The Ice I Like at Limerick on Sunday but showed a very good attitude in doing so. She's been raised 5lb but Danny Mullins' claim takes care of the extra and a quick double looks on the cards. The runner-up had earlier been narrowly beaten by Davy From Milan and there's little to separate him from the selection but Kilcrea ran so poorly at Naas last month that there looked to be something amiss. Sacre Malta was around 4l behind Moss Grove on Sunday and should get closer with a slight pull in the weights. The Book Thief is still 6lb higher than his last winning mark and hasn't been running well.
