FASHION ICON hasn't exactly sparkled since beating Ballarina at Southwell in November but a return to turf at the track on which she completed a quick fire double in the autumn could rekindle the mare's enthusiasm and she gets a tentative vote in this tricky opener. Kyzer Chief is potentially well handicapped and could go close if fully wound up for his first start since last August while Ridley Didley and Radiator Rooney have both won on the all-weather since the turn of the year. The race-fit Wanchai Whisper is well drawn and could be the pick of the remainder.
