APRICOT ICE chased home a smart sort on her Leopardstown debut last August. A subsequent run in listed company isn't hard to forgive and she can get off the mark at the third time of asking, perhaps at the main expense of Aidan O'Brien's Air Commander. Chicago Fireball and School of Law also achieved enough last year to suggest they can play a part on their return to action.
