FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Open looking and ICE COLD IN ALEX is a hopeful pick. Twice a winner on good ground at this trip, he returned from a winter break with a good third-placing at Leopardstown nine days ago and a reproduction of that effort would give him every chance today. ICE COLD IN ALEX was a neck behind Golden Valour at Leopardstown but can turn the placings. Both Golden Valour's wins have been over 1m2f on the all-weather at Dundalk and while his Leopardstown run was also encouraging, ICE COLD IN ALEX is 7lbs better off today, with claims included. Cyrus Dallin is ground-versatile and likes this trip and while he was a good winner at the Curragh last month, is now 8lbs higher. Stablemate Big Baby Bull is a capable type and while he lacks a recent run, should be able to compete under his usual rider's 5lbs claim. Hightimeyouwon wasn't beaten too far at the Curragh last time and is a previous course and distance winner who should run well.
