Verdict

ICONE D'AUBRELLE is seemingly well regarded and, in quite a thin race, he's a straightforward selection to make a successful British debut. Geometrical could obviously take a hand if he can get close to the useful level he achieved on the Flat and, Alchemystique warrants consideration after upsetting huge odds at Southwell when last seen.
