Forecasts

Iconic Belle (13/8), Clenymistra (13/8), Beatbybeatbybeat (9/4), So Hoity Toity (13/2)

Verdict

Iconic Belle is probably best forgiven a below-par display last time when doing too much too soon. She should get back on track, but is vulnerable from her current mark, and preference is for SO HOITY TOITY, who is having just her second start for Ed de Giles. She should improve for her return at Sandown, and has been given every chance by the handicapper. Beatbybeatbybeat is durable , and has been shaping as if worth a try at this trip, so isn't easy to ignore.
