Verdict

Icon Project has been well talked up by her trainer in recent times and her potential is exemplified with her big race entries which include both English and Irish Oaks respectively. If she is to take up them engagements later in the summer she should prove too good for these. The American bred Spiritonthemount was not disgraced behind the progressive Enroller in a competitive handicap at Leicester handicap last time and the faster surface should suit on pedigree while Wells Lyrical has achieved a rating of 75 but might just be flattered by the assessment. Tamerlano and Dolly Penrose are other contenders for the placings but if Icon Project is as good as connections expect she should land this.
