Five to follow for Irish Oaks Weekend at the Curragh including Pink Dogwood

The Tote Scurry Handicap would normally be all about English sprinters but one I like down the bottom of weights is Ice Cold In Alex, trained by Ken Condon. He gets in off 8-5 and with a kind draw, should go really well. He's a hold-up-horse who was very unlucky when second over 7f back at the Curragh on Derby weekend and he's a past course winner…
