      Verdict

      GAMESTERS ICON ran well again at Carlisle recently having earlier scored over track and trip and looks worth sticking with. She beat Kayfast Warrior and Al Kherb here, though the former was less than a length behind and looks a threat again. Feel The Pinch looks no nearer to winning a handicap but still finished in front of Romeo's Bond at Ffos Las and a tongue-tie is applied today and Balleticon continues to struggle.
