Balgowlah's only success in 31 starts came over 2m6f in 2019 and he's only just dropped to a lower mark. ROCK OF TUSKAR didn't have much in hand over Swiss Brid at Kilbeggan but looks to have more scope and now he's found his correct trip should win more races at this level. Icee M B A had shown virtually nothing before well supported over 2m5f at Downpatrick where she gave 4lb and a length beating to the runner-up. If she stays this far she'll be a threat but Not So Simple has no problems with the distance having been beaten a short head at Tipperary on Thursday.
