Verdict
Iamback can defy topweight here at the expense of Kingsdon, Mrs Cube and Due To Me. Although having to concede weight all round, Gaye Kelleway's charge has the form to back up her claims, having won her last two starts at Wolverhampton. She has yet to step out on the Polytrack but her trainer has plenty of success at the Surrey venue and would not run her here if she did not think that she would handle the surface. Iamback appears to be improving at present and with Darryll Holland on board, should go close. Kingsdon hacked up at Ayr recently and is no slouch on the all-weather either. He can go close but is not as good as he used to be a few years ago. Mrs Cube was a beaten favourite last time and Due To Me is consistent enough but is beatable. In a wide-open contest, Iamback is the selection.
