Verdict

ROCK ICON produced a career best at Bath last time and he's taken to make it three wins from his last four outings in what would appear to be a weak contest. Lord Clenaghcastle has course and distance form in the book and can run well if settling better. Lady Valdean wouldn't be one to ruled out if she gets an uncontested lead.
