Lucky Spring ended last year with a smooth success over today's C&D and showed that he was no back number with a promising reappearance at Killarney last month. He should go well as should Word For Word, who followed a decent run over this track and trip by gaining his first success in a handicap on Polytrack at Dundalk for which a 5lbs rise doesn't look excessive. Ice Bound is back on the same mark as when gaining his only victory at Navan last year and he showed a little more dash in his latest run at the Curragh but this affords a good opportunity for HEY BOSCO to get off the mark as he produced his best effort to date when runner-up to Lough Ferrib at Down Royal last time and just sneaks into the bottom of the weights here.
