Verdict
Iconic Knight bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins but is upped in class and MACS DILEMMA is preferred. The latter escapes a penalty having won an apprentices’ contest here last week and a good run in the previous race from the second Gilt Edge would further boost confidence. Biggles placed off today’s mark attempting to land a four-timer while Arcadian Nights scored here on his penultimate start.
