Verdict

Given his two recent hurdles wins which saw LUCKY ICON bounce back to form for the Thomas Mullins yard it’s no surprise to see new connections revert to the Flat off what looks a very lenient mark given those exploits in the other code. There’s no guarantee that he’ll be in the same form however and the same could be said about the other well weighted hurdler in the field Frightened Rabbit who was no great shakes on the Flat before his winning hurdling exploits. Gravity Wave proved himself in a similar scenario last time and should go well again under the same rider while Iolani isn’t out of this having shaped nicely over C&D last time despite the removal of his headgear.
  1. Lucky Icon
  2. Gravity Wave
  3. Iolani
