Verdict

ICONIC MUDDLE is pretty low-mileage for a 10-y-o and shaped well returning from a lengthy absence when runner-up at Kempton 2 weeks ago. He appeals as being favourably handicapped if he can stand more regular racing and gets the narrow vote, with Golden Whisky and Nocte Volatus, with his sights lowered, just two others to note in what rates a tricky finale.

  1. ICONIC MUDDLE
  2. GOLDEN WHISKY (IRE)
  3. NOCTE VOLATUS
