14/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 14/1) 39 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Forecasts

Steel An Icon (1/1), Azor Ahai (4/1), Mahanakhon Power (8/1), Sir Canford (11/1), Rakematiz (12/1), Estrela Star (14/1), Ice Canyon (14/1), Essgee Nics (20/1), Hannalite (33/1), Cool To Be A Cat (33/1)

STEEL AN ICON is unpenalised for her win at Leicester earlier in the week and this is only her fourth run in a handicap. She could progress further and she should be difficult to beat on these terms. Azor Ahai holds each-way claims on the pick of his form. Ice Canyon can't be ruled out either.
