Verdict

TILDAS ICON has seemingly turned the corner lately and if she returns in the same form as her close second last time out over C&D, she will be hard to beat. Lady Aristeia took a step forward on handicap debut last time and she's less exposed than the rest of this field while Alcander has shown he can mix it at this level and gets the services of the talented Oisin Orr in the saddle.
  1. Tildas Icon
  2. Lady Aristeia
  3. Alcander
