Comhghairdeas drops down to the minimum for the first time since his debut but didn't look a natural sprinter when tackling 7f at Listowel last time. Ice Canyon has had plenty of chances and disappointed at the Curragh last time though it was a better race than this so he should be in the firing-line. Daisy's Flyer has been showing good pace over 6f so the drop in trip should suit but the vote goes to SNOWSTAR (NAP), who was in front of Ice Canyon when runner-up to subsequent winner Silverkode at the Curragh.
