        In depth

        Verdict

        Market support for any of the other four newcomers in this would probably be significant. Kevin Ryan's It's The Ice, a half-brother to two winners, is possibly the most interesting on breeding but PICKETT'S CHARGE sets a decent standard on his third at Beverley and further improvement is likely. Dark Confidant and The Major have also shown ability but Breslin disappointed when favourite at Wolverhampton and will be qualified for handicaps after this.
