Verdict

WINGS OF ICARUS stopped quickly when odds-on for his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter but may well have seen too much daylight. If ridden with more restraint today, David Pipe's dual bumper winner should recoup losses. Holywell will be all the better for his first run under Rules at Plumpton and may be the danger ahead of fellow points winner On My Living Life, though the mare Pyleigh Lass was well backed at Taunton last month and her stable is in good form. Special Mate also has ability and could figure on his first run over timber.
