Killarney Race 5 - Brehon Hotel Handicap
ICE JET (2) ran a solid third last time at Navan over 2011m after a break, Expected to finish strongly again. REFRESHMENT (3) was fourth at Gowran Park last time 6L behind. Well placed here. RANTING AND RAVEN (7) was sixth returning from a spell at Dundalk 4.5L off the winner. Likely to improve. LOVE SONNET (8) is a maiden and expected to step up after a disappointing return at Cork. Might feature in the top three with further progress.
