Forecasts

Verdict

While ICONIC MOMENT certainly doesn't appear to be short of speed, he shaped as though stepping up to a mile would be very much in his favour when overhauling stablemate New Definition close home over 7f at Lingfield last month. The best is probably yet to come from this colt and he is taken to maintain his 100% record. Godolphin's Bold Act improved with each of his 4 starts last season and is second choice ahead of recent Kempton 1-2, Brave Emperor and Alzahir.
