Eye Of The Water (4/1), Friendly Advice (9/2), Storm Over (5/1), Iconic Knight (11/2), Bombastic (11/2), The Cruising Lord (7/1), Tathmeen (7/1), Glorious Charmer (12/1), Iva Reflection (22/1), Sepahi (22/1), Katelli (25/1)

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.
