Rated 74, Iconic Knight comes out best of those with a handicap mark and should have the measure of Ivy Leaguer, Sienna Says and SOVEREIGN STATE. But an earlier outing on soft ground fails to boost confidence and the latter is preferred. Bob Cowell’s colt posted his best effort so far when placed in heavy going at Sandown and is receiving weight from Lord Riddiford, who is penalised for winning at Beverley back in May. Yarmouth runner-up Elite Shadow showed ability on his debut and could figure.
