ICENI GIRL is starting to look exposed after four runs but still sets the standard and merits a further chance. John Gosden's Iceman filly looked home and hosed at Kempton last time before being nabbed late on. She gets this trip well and her previous runner-up effort behind John Lightbody at Sandown represents the best form on offer. Bronze Angel is also quite exposed but he too has no stamina doubts and deserves consideration on the back of a respectable minor placing behind Graphic at Salisbury latest. The market will be of interest in assessing the merit of some interesting newcomers, namely the Godolphin filly, Equity Card, and Exning Halt and Gabrial's Gift from the thriving Fanshawe and Simcock yards respectively.
