Iceberg Theory gives Nolan an across-the cards double On his first start since winning a beginners' chase on quick ground at Limerick in May, Iceberg Theory (11/2 fav) handled contrasting underfoot conditions when taking the Kevin McManus Bookmaker Handicap Chase at Cork. The Flemensfirth gelding tracked the leaders and took over in front after the second-last before staying on well to beat O'Toole by six and a half lengths. The John J Brennan-owned six-year-old was completing an across-the-cards double for trainer Paul Nolan after Feet Of A Dancer's Listed race win at Punchestown. Jockey Conor Stone-Walsh commented: "I thought I was beaten but thought I was going to run on to finish a nice fourth or fifth but he really got rolling down the straight. "He was good and brave when I needed him and he galloped the whole way to the line. "It was his first run back but I knew he'd stay going and thankfully he did. I think three miles is his trip and he could be a nice staying horse." Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes
