Longer trip should suit Its The Ice I Like

ROBERT TYNER sends Its The Ice I Like on the long trip from Kinsale to Fairyhouse today for the Membership Maiden Hurdle, and the seven-year-old can shorten the journey home by landing the nap.

The ex-winning point-to-pointer got off the mark on the track when easily taking a bumper at Clonmel in November.

Then at Navan last month, carrying the JP McManus colours for the first time, the selection went off a heavily-backed odds-on shot in an 18-runner maiden hurdle.
