ILBDARE can make the most of his return to a C&D over which he is 2-2, especially after looking better than ever when third at Roscommon 25 days ago. Broken Ice is feared most after a solid Fairyhouse third and is likely to be suited by this step back up in trip, while Mickey Cohen, who finished a place ahead of Broken Ice there, should again be thereabouts.
