Easter Icon³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 55| CD

11/4

C&D winner. 11/1, third of 5 in handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good to soft) 13 days ago, running on. The booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye and she makes more appeal than most back at this venue.

Forecasts

Tarbat Ness (11/4), Yasmin From York (11/4), Easter Icon (10/3), Sugar Candie (5/1), Milltown Lily (7/1), A Day To Dream (15/2), Toscan Genius (11/1), Jamih (25/1), Fly Awhile Johnny (40/1), Misscarlett (66/1), Coeur De Coeurs (150/1), Archive (150/1)

YASMIN FROM YORK scored twice over C&D last year and having dropped to her last winning mark, she gets the vote to regain the winning thread with the booking of Hollie Doyle catching the eye. The main danger could emerge from Easter Icon, who needs to leave a rare below-par effort behind at Ffos Las last month, with Toscan Genius and A Day To Dream rounding off the shortlist.
