ICONIC KNIGHT had little go right from his wide draw here last month and had previously ran very well over this C&D. He is better berthed tonight and can make amends. Eye of The Water is lurking on a dangerous-looking mark but his draw in 10 tempers enthusiasm slightly. Storm Over is also looking well handicapped and has to be considered for each-way betting.
