Verdict

DARK OUTSIDER revelled being back on his favoured good ground when winning a Wexford handicap chase over 2m last month and can make another bold bid for success here despite a 4lb penalty. The David O'Brien-trained Iceslip finished behind the selection at Wexford is another who will once again flourish on the good ground. It may be left to the top weight Bellgrove and veteran Ballyfinboy to engage for the minor honours.
