A Grade 2 winner over today's trip in South Africa last year, COLD AS ICE came good for her new yard over 7f at Chelmsford last time. Still lightly raced, the Haggas mare can make the most of her allowance and go in again. Rivellino had Alben Star and Intransigent behind when winning last year's renewal and the latter pair were both beaten by Chookie Royale at Kempton last time. German raider Gamgoom finished ahead of Lightscameraction when runner-up at Chelmsford recently but is penalised for an earlier Listed win while Godolphin's My Call has a bit to find on today's terms but has more scope than most.
