Verdict

Icarus Dream, Moorlaw, and Leopold are three against the field in this competitive contest and the tentative vote is given to Icarus Dream. The selection won well last time out when defeating La Concha and although he has a penalty for that win he is sure to have learnt from the experience and will be hard to beat. Moorlaw rates the main danger he was sent off favourite when falling last time out and if he puts in a clear round he will be a danger to all. Leopold has shown a modicum of ability on the flat and is from a shrewd yard so is worth noting in the market. Tizi Ouzou was second on the flat in a seller over 10 furlongs and if he sees out the trip he is another with place claims. This is a trappy affair and the market may well tell all but for the winner we return to Icarus Dream.
