      Verdict

      Viewpoint easily landed the odds in a seller at Lingfield but this is much tougher. Ickymasho bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins having narrowly beaten Pactolus last time and the latter has subsequently finished just behind the runner-up Intrude back at this venue. But with the latter trio so hard to separate a chance is taken on NOBLE GIFT bouncing back to his best given he was winning off higher marks last year and should have come on for a recent pipe-opener at Kempton.
