Verdict

Adams Wood won two point-to-points in the spring and made a very encouraging handicap debut for Mick Hourigan at Wexford. But ITS THE ICE I LIKE took advantage of a falling mark to gain a comfortable victory at Navan and, though 8lb higher, is still well in and can complete a double. Pocketfullapennies hasn't managed to win a race after 19 starts under Rules but is getting closer and was having his first start for over a year when runner-up over hurdles here last month. Mallards In Flight is very consistent and an obvious threat after a fine run at Tramore which was only her third over fences, while Treacy's Star came very close to gaining her first victory under Rules when just failing to hold off Fast Exit at Downpatrick in June and has won on heavy ground between the flags.
