FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Having caught the eye when staying on strongly to finish third at Navan last time, ICE JET can open his account. Making his handicap debut, on his first start since October, the John O'Donoghue-trained gelded looked to appreciate the step up in trip. Faced with an extra furlong now, the son of Phoenix Of Spain should relish the long run-in. Ranting And Raven was disappointing on her first start outside of maiden company recently but is almost certainly better than that form. Perhaps, the application of first-time blinkers will see the Johnny Murtagh-trained filly show a bit more here. With John Joseph Murphy always a man to fear at this track, Love Sonnet and Eagles Dream have to be respected.
