Ice Lord²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: C F Wall| OR: 80| CD

15/2

C&D winner. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Has slipped to a dangerous mark, so he's not ruled out, for all that he clearly needs to bounce back.

Form: 92-3000

9/1

18/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, soft) 14 days ago. Looked promising when winning sole 2-y-o start and he still has time on his side.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 79| D

9/1

22/1

Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, soft, 5/2) 33 days ago. Now 2 lb below last winning mark and no surprise were she to play a role in the finish.

Form: 20-3463

(1)

Ice Station Zebra²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 67

Forecasts

Whelans Way (9/2), Eye Of The Water (5/1), Ice Lord (15/2), May Remain (15/2), Kick On Kick On (8/1), Ice Station Zebra (9/1), With Respect (9/1), Gambon (9/1), Delagate This Lord (10/1), A Sure Welcome (14/1), Triggered (16/1), The Cruising Lord (18/1), Honore Daumier (20/1), Sweet Pursuit (22/1)

A chance is taken on TRIGGERED, who was behind May Remain (second) and Whelans Way (sixth) in a big-field Ascot handicap last month, but he was left with plenty to do and, under the circumstances, did well to finish as close as he did. May Remain should be in the thick of things once again and is feared most ahead of Chepstow 1-2 Gambon and Eye of The Water.
