Forecasts

Ice Cool Champs (13/8), Seymour Star (5/2), Coole Cody (5/2), Like The Sound (7/1), Nobuttaboy (7/1), Blue Rhythm (50/1), Running Squaw (66/1)

Verdict

ICE COOL CHAMPS comes into this as the least exposed runner of those with racecourse experience and the slight step up in trip should be ideal for him today in conditions that are likely to suit him on the evidence of his win last time out. With further improvement likely, he has a great chance for a top trainer. The penny finally seems to be dropping, meanwhile, for third season novice Seymour Star, who could improve further making the switch back from handicap company, where he won last time, while the drop down in class for Like The Sound will suit, if he takes this route rather than a handicap option at Stratford yesterday.
