Verdict
The Ice Factor did best of the trio who ran behind Burrenbridge Lodge at Roscommon and should improve for the run. He was a 25/1 chance that day after showing nothing on the level but is much more of a hurdling type. However, BLEUKER, who finished in front of Solaras Exhibition and Sixty Eight Guns when they were behind Kildare Kitten here in June, may be good enough to make a winning start over timber.
