In depth

Verdict

BLACK ICE makes a quick reappearance under a penalty after a convincing success at Limerick on Monday and with Shane Butler's claim virtually wiping out the extra he can complete a quick double. Stay With It looked a very progressive type when comfortably accounting for a decent field of handicappers at Clonmel but didn't improve on that when sent to Cork three days later. That race could have come too soon and he'd be an obvious threat on that first run. Never Complain has been racing over fences but arrives here on a much lower hurdles rating so has to be on the shortlist. Rebel Cry has been a disappointment so far though he didn't run badly over fences at Down Royal on Friday.
