ICEBERG THEORY confirmed the clear promise of his chasing debut when scoring at Limerick back in May and remains open to further improvement, with his form already matching anything achieved over hurdles. Native Speaker shaped as if ahead of his mark at Galway and should appreciate this more conventional track. O'Toole, with previous Grade 2 chase form, could have untapped potential as a staying chaser.
